One sunny day around 1911, Mildred and the family decided to go for a picnic, so they loaded up their 1909 Model T Ford touring sedan. Mildred was wearing her blue worsted serge suit. As they drove through the countryside, it began to rain, and then to pour. Since the Ford was open on both sides, the family got soaked and had to return home. As Mildred began to remove her outfit, a blue arm appeared, then another. As she stripped out of her soaked suit, her family had a grand laugh to see that her wet suit had turned her blue all over! (story from her daughter). On 25 Nov 1909, Mildred married John Andrew Morrow, who later became the Bradford County Superintendent of Schools.

Wedding Announcement: "Morrow-Eastabrook. The interest which has centered in the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Eastabrook of Stevensville, for several weeks past, reached its climax on Thanksgiving day at high noon, when their only daughter, Mildred Clara, was united in marriage to Prof. J. Andrew Morrow of Herrick, now the principal of the Ulster High school. [Married 25 Nov 1909]
The ceremony was performed by Rev. James S. Wilkes, pastor of the bride, assisted by Rev. Milton Lewis Cook of Merryall, pastor of the groom. Mrs. Fred Mitten of Towanda, sister of the groom, acted as matron of honor, and her son, William, as ring bearer. Miss Helen Morrow, another sister, was maid of honor, and Victor Eastabrook of State College, brother of the bride, was best man.
Shortly before 12 o'clock Miss Marie Stevens of Stevensville, took her place at the piano. As the noon hour struck and the familiar strains of Lohengrin were heard, the bridal party entered. First the officiating clergymen, then the matron of honor, the ring bearer, the maid of honor, the bride on her father's arm, and then the groom and his best man. Proceeding through the sitting room they passed down an aisle of white ribbon to the south side of the parlor, where the ceremony took place before a beautiful arbor of white lattice-work trimmed with princess pine. During the ceremony Miss Mary Fay of Scranton, rendered a violin solo with piano accompaniment.
After congratulations had been extended the seventy-five or more guests present sat down to a bountiful dinner prepared by Mrs. Coleman, a cateress from Towanda.
The bridal party and the immediate relatives were seated at two tables decorated with smilax and large yellow chrysanthemums. The refreshments were served by eight young friends of the bride and groom--Mabel and Seone VanDemark, Ina Stevens and Lacey VanDemark of Stevensville, Thomas Fleming of Camptown, Alta Stethers of Herrick, William Hinman of Monroeton, and John Ballantine of Dushore.
The bride wore a dress of white silk messaline, trimmed with embroidered net, and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. A full length bridal veil added to the already elegant costume. The matron of honor was dressed in green and carried yellow chrysanthemums. The maid of honor was gowned in white, her bouquet being white carnations. Many beautiful and costly gifts in glass, silver, china, linen, etc., testify to the esteem in which the young couple are held by a host of friends.
After a wedding trip to Philadelphia and other cities, Prof. and Mrs. Morrow will make their home at Ulster, whither the best wishes of their many friends follow them. J. S. W." (from a news clipping)
