  1.   Miss Sarah Ross Plights Troth to August Kokal At Trinity
           Miss Sarah Vance Ross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Ross, and August Kokal, of Mount Berry, formerly of West Blocton, Alabama, were married Saturday morning at 8 o’clock at Trinity Methodist Church, the pastor, the Rev. J. W. Segars, officiating, reading an impressive ring ceremony.
           Mrs. Hugh McCrary, church pianist, played among other numbers “To a Wild Rose” and the bridal music from Wagner’s Lohengrin. Miss Aleen Rush sang with unusual sweetness “I Love You Truly.”
           The bride’s only attendant was Miss Elizabeth Powers. She wore a lovely model of figured chiffon in Valencia blue and red. She wore a red hat untrimmed except for narrow ribbon and her flowers were gardenias, fashioned in a shoulder bouquet.
           The bride was lovely wearing a beautiful gown of navy chiffon embroidered in effective pattern in rose pink. The embroidery was used on sleeves and the distinctive collar forming the front of the bodice. She wore a wide brimmed navy blue hat and her gloves and other accessories were navy. She wore lilies-of-the-valley and pink rosebuds in a shoulder bouquet.
           Carlton Blankenship served as Mr. Kokal’s best man.
           The bride’s brothers, Lewis and Lamar Ross, served as ushers. Guests included the families and a few friends.
           The wedding party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn’s march played by Mrs. McCrary.
           After a wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Kokal will be at home in Frances cottage on Berry school campus. Mr. Kokal, a graduate of the schools and who has a degree from Georgia School of Technology, Atlanta, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Kokal, of Blocton, Ala. He is a member of the Industrial Arts faculty at the school.
           The bride prepared for college at Berry schools, later graduating from Georgia State College of Women, at Milledgeville.
           Her many pleasing qualities and fine traits of character have made her popular with acquaintances and friends. She is a member of a large interesting family. [Rome newspaper, 1937] KF-in-Georgia
