Martin Taylor & Cleora Kay New

Martin Taylor was Vera's youngest brother.
He married Cleora Kay New (of South Dakota?) on 25 Oct 1943 possibly on a military base in South Dakota.
Thus, she became Cleora Kay New Taylor.

Newspaper notice:

SOURCE: Vernal Express 1943, Nov 4, p.8

Newspaper notice transcribed:

Mrs. Roxa Taylor received word that her son Martin Taylor and Cleora Kay New of South Dakota were married October 25.  Martin has been in the Air Corps 2 1/2 years and is stationed at South Dakota.

Apparently taken in Salt Lake City, UT at Ralph & Ruth Taylor's house before he left for the Pacific.

I have been unable to track down a marriage record for these two, and am unsure how easily that may be obtained as the marriage is assumed to have happened on or near the military base Martin was stationed on in South Dakota.  Apparently the Taylor family was not too fond of this sudden marital union and considered Cleora only marrying Martin for the benefits that came with being war bride.

After Martin was listed as LIA in Nov 1944, a military letter was addressed to Cleora in Salt Lake City, Utah, but she vanishes off the radar from that point forward.  I can only assume that she remarried, but finding any further information on her has proved terribly difficult.  Martin's military card lists her location as "Norcatur, Kansas" and the newspaper notice above states that she is from "South Dakota" so hopefully either of these locations may yield good leads on tracking her down in the future.  (Check THIS post for the military info on Martin Taylor & letters sent regarding him.)  If anything new develops on her story, I will post it here.
