Here, gathered in our beloved South Dakota, are a few members of our Williamson / Mattson Clan. Charles and Luella are to be blamed (be kind, they didn't know what they were doing). We're generally a happy bunch and somewhat intelligent (notwithstanding our tenuous grasp on reality). I'm also proud to say that most of us still have our teeth.

The Full Story of Mom and Dad's Wedding Service and Reception From the Lead Daily Call

From the Fortress of Solitude
Pleasant Grove


Hello All,
     I subscribed to Newspaper.com recently because that is where you'll find the missing stories of our ancestors. It's expensive, no doubt about it, but worth it because look at what I found. 


     This is the full newspaper article covering the wedding of Charles and Luella Williamson as printed in the Lead Daily Call on June 23, 1956.  The marriage took place on June 17, 1956.  



     The song "Believe" was sung at the wedding. It was one of dad's favorite songs. He loved the version sang by Mario Lanza.  Below is Mario singing Believe.



     There will be many more discoveries to come.
