Lippert Weddings

Below are some marriage certificates and wedding photos of members of the Lippert Family.

 Myrtle Lippert (1890-1978) daughter of John Lippert and Elizabeth Lippert (Whose maiden name I know not) at their wedding around 1910 in (I believe) Banks, Washington County, Oregon
Another photo of their wedding day

 I have not yet ascertained Alfred and Lydia's relationship to John and Elizabeth Lippert yet if there is one, there is a George and Emma Lippert who lived in Roy, Washington County, Oregon around the same time as John and Elizabeth and I'm suspecting that John and George may have been brothers and emmigrated to the USA simultaneously but here is the marriage certificate for these two at any rate.
 Julia S. Pierce was Charles' (Charley's) (1883-1962) Second wife, his first wife, Bessie Taylor - whose maiden name was Robinson (as far as I can ascertain) and her first husband G.B. Taylor apparently died, leaving her a widow when she married Charles.  Bessie died in 1940 and is buried at Union Point Cemetery, Banks, Washington County, Oregon, and Charles married Julia in 1947, both wives are buried with him at Union Point Cemetery.


 

Lastly, Randolph Bland (1900-1974) and Ella M Long Lippert's marriage certificate.  They both moved down to California after the 1930's and managed to not show up on the censuses for a while though they were in Scott's Mills, Marion County, Oregon in the 1930 US Federal Census, and they both passed away according to the Social Security Death Index in Marina, Monterey County, California two years apart from each other.  I haven't as of this posting yet ascertained their burial locations.

Albert Gregory Millican Silver Star Citation - United States Navy - USS Helena (CL-50)

Silver Star Citation for Albert Gregory Millican for action on the USS Helena (CL-50) off Guadalcanal in 1942.  His name was misspelled "Milligan" instead of "Millican" in the citation, but this is a scan of a photocopy of the original.
