Narrative

Churchill's sister, Bessie, recalls the day that Churchill and Irene were married. She said that several people accompanied Churchill and Irene to the preacher's house where they were married. They included his sisters, Ellen, Bessie, Arie, Arie's husband Mel, and Earl Blythe. They were all loaded into Mel's car and heading for the preacher'shouse when they stopped along the side of the road to help a stranded family whose car had stopped on them. Mel got out and began helping get the car started. Churchill was pacing up and down, telling Mel to hurry up. After getting the stranded family back on the road, the wedding party loaded up and proceeded on their way. Mel toldChurchill, "See there, we helped that family and we still have time to get you married." Churchill replied, "I ain't kicking, I ain't kicking." Then Mel told Churchill, " Just wait a year or two and you will be."
