Marriages (January 20)

Halbert - Burchard

Utica Saturday Globe, April 1921

Linn R. & Ruth A. (Burchard) Halbert

 



Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mrs. Charles A. Burchard has announced the marriage of her daughter, Ruth A. [Burchard] and Linn R. Halbert, the ceremony taking place on March 17 at Montrose, Pa., Rev. Mr. Irving, pastor of the Methodist Chruch and a close personal friend of the groom, tying the nuptial knot.  Mrs. Halbert, who three years ago entered professional life as a chorus girl and during that brief period has become widely and familiarly known as Ruth Williams, will resume her professional duties under the direction of Charles R. Reno in about a fortnight, the company going south for a summer tour through the Virginias and the Carolina.  Last season Mrs. Halbert appeared in Josh Simpkins for a period and later in Mutt and Jeff, taking a leading part in the singing and dancing. She made a specialty of toe dancing until an injury in one of her feet prevented and she has since taken up acrobatic work in which she now excels.  Mr. Halbert is well known as the son of Mr and Mrs. Arthur E. Halbert and a member of the Norwich High School unbeaten basketball team which is now contending in the games at Syracuse for the championship of the State. As a forward Mr. Halbert has made a wonderful record and has contributed very largely to the splendid success of the team.  He is also a skilled musician and as a saxophone soloist has been heard many times with pleasure.  It is expected that he will accompany Mrs. Halbert in the southern tour as a member of the orchestra and may also assume a part in the specialty work for which his athletic training has fitted him.
