This will wrap up this series of posts concerning photos from the wedding of Florence McClain and Lloyd Wright. I can’t promise there aren’t more wedding photos lurking in the archives somewhere, but I believe this series has covered most of them. If I do come across more, I will post them, of course.
Bernard McClain at the reed organ, which he painted to resemble a theater organ of the day (white with glitter, with some darker trim). It is a pity the finish of the organ is not more clearly visible. There was a photo of him at the organ in the first post in this series, but the bottom half of the organ was not visible in that one. Also the clarinet on a stand on the left was only barely visible. (Did Bernard playapparently played the clarinet for the wedding in addition to the organ.) I believe what looks almost like a smudge on the photo in the middle of the keyboard is a rear-view mirror.This photo reflects a curious fact about the wedding guests. Even though it was not a large wedding, the guests included three sets of identical twins, shown in this photo. Ray and Roy Warren (sons of Nellie McClain Warren, Arthur McClain’s sister) are on the left. The twins in the middle I know only as the “McClain” twinsare Geneva and Jeannette McClain (daughters of Deo McClain, Arthur McClain’s cousin). See the comment to this post for more about them.I don’t have names beyond that. Since the twin on the left seems to be wearing a wedding ring, I suspect these ladies are twins that married into the McClain family. But I don’t have enough information to identify them. (If you can help, please do!) The twins on the right are Merle and Mertice Buchner, friends from Tallman.
