From Ronny Bodine (May 21, 2020):
From Trenton Sunday Times-Advertiser (Trenton, N.J.) of Sunday, 26 May 1918.
The wedding of Miss Mary Wyckoff Bodine, daughter of Isaac Bodine, of 42 South Walter Avenue, and Sergt. Oliver Descheetz, took place yesterday, at the home of the bride. The Rev. George H. Ingram, performed the ceremony. Owing to the fact that Sergt. Descheetz is unable to secure many furloughs, the wedding was solemnized yesterday. Mr. Descheetz is supply sergeant with the 681st Aero Squadron, stationed at Garden City, L.I. His home is in Quakertown, Pa. Only the near relatives attended.
