The following is an excerpt from the newspaper clipping regarding the marriage of Norma and Carleton:

"...was quietly solemnized Wednesday morning, June 11, at 8 o'clock, at the home of the bride's brother, Joseph J. Lear, Jr., in Haymond Court on West Main Street. The ring ceremony of the Baptist Church was performed by the Rev. Frank Cost, of Belington, uncle of the bridegroom, in the presence of the immediate families and a few close friends. There were no attendants. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served which carried attractive appointments. The happy couple left Wednesday morning for an automobile trip to White Sulphur Springs, and from there they will go north to Boston. Upon their return to Clarksburg, they will reside temporarily with Mr. Wood's parents, on Mechanic Street (now called Washington Avenue). The bride is a daughter of Joseph J. Lear, Sr., of Covington, VA, but had made her home, for a number of years, with her brother, in Clarksburg, where she has made a wide circle of friends. Mr. Wood is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Wood, of Mechanic Street, and is associated with his father as two of the city's leading architects."
