How the Andersons Didn't Party

When 18-year-old Louise Rossow got married on February 20, 1921, it was a quiet celebration, nothing like big sister Minnie's wedding.

I wonder why the difference?

(Incidentally, the News gives the witness' name as Gladys Humes, not Hill, and I don't know which is correct.)

A 1922 Gary directory shows the young Andersons living at 235 Tyler Street, he working as a telegraph operator.
