Mildred Loise Satterfield

"Mid"

Mildred attended the Butcher Public School in Fairmont, WV for 3rd & 4th grades, 1917 & 1918 respectively. She later taught sixth grade at that school when she was an adult.

Mildred attended Epworth League Institute in Morgantown, WV.

We, the grandchildren, called her "Momma Mid".

According to Mildred's scrapbook, a snowstorm kept them at The Fairmont, in Fairmont, W. Va. instead of starting their honeymoon immediately.

They wrecked in Ashland, KY on Thursday Jan 23, 1936, trying to begin their honeymoon. No injuries! They stayed at the Ventura Hotel.

Their marriage license was issued in the office of County Clerk John F. Phillips, for Clarence Edward Teague (Carmon's first name is misspelled in the newspaper clipping in Mildred's scrapbook of this Marriage Licenses notice), 27, Eutaw, Ala., and Mildred Louise (her middle name is Loise) Satterfield, 25, Fairmont.

The date for the approaching marriage of Miss Mildred Satterfield and Carmon Edward Teague was announced at a bridge party and linen shower given for the bride-elect by her sister, Miss Evalyn Satterfield, last evening in the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Satterfield, in Walnut avenue.

Three tables of bridge were in play, the guests being close friends of Miss Satterfield. At the conclusion of the games each was presented with a rose, to which was attached a dainty card bearing the announcement -
