Wedding Wednesday: Tumbush - Brunswick Marriage Record

1/28/2014

0 Comments

 
This past Sunday on the blog, I shared a 1940 census schedule listing my husband's maternal grandmother, Rita Brunswick.  At this point in her life, Rita was living with and working for a minister's family in Fort Recovery, Ohio.  Two years later, Rita married Frank Tumbush at St. Paul Church in Sharpsburg, Mercer County, Ohio.  Below is a copy of their marriage license application (top) and marriage certificate (bottom), as kept within the Mercer County Probate Records. (Click on image for larger view.)

Here is a short description of the wedding service from the November 27, 1942 issue of The Minster Post.  Alvera Wimmers is Frank 's first cousin and Melvin Brunswick is Rita's older brother.

Below is a photo of St. Paul's Catholic Church.  Like many of the older Catholic churches in this area of Ohio, St. Paul's is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.   The building was designed by Anton DeCurtins, a Swiss immigrant who helped design and build many Gothic-style churches in Mercer County.  Those who are not from this area of western Ohio or who have never visited are often surprised to learn about the area's many beautiful Gothic-revival churches that were erected in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  It is often called the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches."
