THAYER - CORMAN

Dorothy Thayer, daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Lovell Thayer, was given in marriage to Earl Corman, son of Arthur Corman of near Cadams, at the bride's home Wednesday. afternoon, June 8, at 4 o'clock.

Elda Bucknell sang "I Love You Truly," accompanied by Gwendolyn Lagant of Ruskin. Miss Lagant also played the Lohengrin wedding march, to the strains of which the bridal couple marched to a place in the center of the living room, and the lines were read by Rev. G. M. Bing of Nora, who used the double ring service. The bride was arrayed in a beautiful white taffeta gown, and the groom wore a conventional dark gray suit.

After congratulations by the thirty guests, mostly near relatives of the bride and groom, a dainty wedding lunch was served.

Mrs. Corman has lived in the Cadams vicinity all her life, and after graduating from the public school, taught several terms in the local schools. Mr. Corman, whose home has been near Cadams, bears a reputation for honesty and thrift that will insure the happy couple the good will of all.

After the wedding the couple left for a wedding trip.

She attended elementary school at District 53 Rural school, and high school at Ruskin Public School, graduating in 1930. Having taken Normal Training, Dorothy was qualified to teach in rural elementary schools, which she did for several years at rural schools in the area. She later took summer school classes at Hastings College and Kearney State Teachers College, now, UNK.

On June 3, 1936 Dorothy was married to Earl Corman in her parents' home. They began their married life together farming northwest of Cadams, Nebraska. Four children were born to them, Beverly, Marcia, Joy, and Kenneth. In June,1946, they had purchased a farm south of Cadams and moved to that location. Dorothy was active in the Nora United Methodist Church, having joined in 1944, until the closing of the church in June 2006. She actively guided her children in 4-H work and was instrumental in founding the Open Class category of exhibits at the Nuckolls County Fair. She was a 30 year member of the Eastern Star.

One of her favorite activities each summer was preparing and exhibiting her crafts and baked goods at the fair. She served as County Chairperson of the Extension Clubs in 1967 and 1968. She and her husband, Earl, enjoyed Cornhusker football and in later years attended many of the games. In 1975 they began spending winters in Chandler, Arizona. It was there that Earl died on February 21, 1979. In 1990, Dorothy moved to Superior, where she resided until entering the Good Samaritan Center in October, 2005.
