We are trying to identify all of the people in the photo above. We have identified some, provisionally identified some and have no idea about the rest.
A newspaper report of the wedding lists some of those in attendance, and we have knowledge of others who were there. Those who we are reasonably sure we have identified in the photo are crossed out.

  • George Atwood "and family"
  • Georgia Atwood
  • Bradley Buck (likely not in the picture)
  • Florence Buck
  • Ruby Moore
  • Louise Luedtke
  • Flossie Lyons
  • Rex Randall
  • Samuel Bruce Rankin
  • Hortense (Crutchfield) Rankin
  • Harriet Rankin
  • Frances Elizabeth (Rankin) Tewksbury
  • James Tewksbury
  • Marie Tewksbury
  • Mark Tewksbury
  • (possibly) Margie (Thomas) Tewksbury
  • Charles "Paul" Thatcher
  • Edith (Tewksbury) Thatcher
  • Ina Thatcher
  • Areta Wolters
  • Clyde Wolters
  • Harry Wolters
  • Nina (Tewksbury) Wolters
Picture 1

This could be Florence Buck, a friend of the bride, but it could just as well be one of the other young women who were in attendance at the wedding.
Picture 2

There are any number of possibilities for this woman. She could be Margie Tewksbury, Mrs. Atwood or someone else.
Picture 3

Another candidate for Florence Buck, or one of the other friends of the bride.
Hortense Crutchfield Rankin

The bride's aunt
Picture 5

This is most likely Harry Wolters, the bride's brother-in-law.
Nina (Tewksbury) Wolters

The bride's sister
The bride

This is Edith Frances Tewksbury Thatcher.
The groom

This is Charles "Paul" Thatcher
Marie Tewksbury

The bride's sister
Frances Elizabeth Rankin Tewksbury

The bride's aunt and step-mother. (It's a long story!)
Samuel Bruce Rankin

The bride's uncle
Ina Thatcher

Half-sister of the groom
James Sterling Tewksbury

Father of the bride
Picture 14

This is likely Clyde Wolters, son of Harry and Nina Wolters. He and his sister were the only children specifically mentioned as guests.
Picture 15

I'm pretty sure this is Mark Tewksbury, uncle of the bride.
Picture 16

If the little boy in Picture 14 is Clyde Wolters, then the little girl in this picture is probably Areta Wolters. She was likely mortified when she saw this picture as an adult.
Picture 17

I think that this is most likely Harriet Rankin. She would be the only woman of that age who was a relative of little Areta Wolters and has not yet been identified. But it could be that another of the young women volunteered to look after the precocious child.
Rex Randall

The groom's closest friend. It's not certain whether the wedding couple had attendants, but if they did, Rex was probably the best man. He had been engaged to Norma Gordon who was killed along with Paul's mother and sisters in a horrible car/train accident just two months prior to the wedding.
