Roy LeGrand Taylor and Ethel Swensen

Roy LeGrand Taylor was one of Vera's older brothers.

He married Ethel Elizabeth Swensen of Lapoint, Utah on 31 Mar 1920 (although BOTH of their obituaries state that they married in 1919, the marriage license states otherwise...)

Thus, she became Ethel S. Taylor.

They must have had a dear friend working at the newspaper to have THREE social commentaries written up about their wedding with so much goodwill written into them.  :)
