Picture sent to me by Bill Gough, son of Eleanor (Corbin) and Rev. Roger Gough.
Comments by Bill Gough ....Picture was taken in front of the Congregational Church after their wedding ceremony in July of 1940. Yes, the Corbins were quite involved in the Union City church... and so my dad
got to know my mother through that connection while he was pastor. Mom was a
student in college at Eastern Michigan U. (Michigan Teachers College at the
time) in Ypsilanti when they met. They were married a little over one year
after she graduated. In between, she taught music in Ithaca, MI in the public
schools. My parents left Union City in the summer of 1941 for a church in
Allegan, MI. From there they moved to Piqua, OH and then eventually to St.
Paul, MN. Attached is a wedding announcement from the Battle Creek newspaper
at the time.
