Summary
The May–June 1974 Beaver Beacon reported that Elaine Marie Pike and Stephen (Craig) West married on April 13 at Holy Family Chapel at Nazareth College in Kalamazoo.
Evidence and limits
The wedding report gives the ceremony and reception context, but not a civil certificate. Its names differ from the January engagement notice, so this record does not claim that the two notices concern the same couple.
Sources
- Reports the April 13 wedding of Elaine Marie Pike and Stephen (Craig) West at Holy Family Chapel at Nazareth College in Kalamazoo, their parents, reception, education and employment, and Kalamazoo residence; it does not provide a civil marriage record. The names differ in spelling and form from the January 1974 engagement notice, so no identity bridge is inferred here.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1974-05_Beaver-Beacon
- The held eleven-page combined May–June issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the wedding report; it does not resolve the source’s name variation or add a civil record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1974-05_Beaver-Beacon
