Freda C. (Ames) Genung

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  A romance that originated in Washington, D.C., last February reached its climax early in the present month in the marriage of Lieut. Roland B. Genung, of Ithaca, and Miss Freda C. Ames, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Ames, of this city. The ceremony took place in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church at Newport News, Va., the pastor, Rev. E.L. Welford, officiating.  Anticipating that Lieut.. Genung will soon be sent to France, the young people decided on an early marriage and arrangements were made accordingly.  Mrs. Genung will remain in Newport News until her husband sails.  Lieut. Genung first met his bride about three months ago when he was stationed in Washington, temporarily.  They were mutually attracted to each other, and soon became engaged.  May 5, Lieut. Genung's mother, Mrs. John Genung, of Ithaca, with his brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harold B. Genung and Mrs. W.J. Bates, of the same city, planned to visit Lieut. Genung at Newport News. The party motored to Baltimore, where they met Miss Ames, who accompanied them to Newport News. Arriving there the party was met by Dr. Genung, who came up from Gainesville, Fla., where he is doing government work, to meet his family.
