One just never knows how pieces of history make it to the surface. The above photograph is just one example. When the bar from Marion’s on Weatherlow Street was being moved to a new home in Chester, some interesting material somehow managed to get lodged behind the bar. There was an assortment of about a dozen Red River Lumber Company photographs and this wedding cake picture.
On 10:00 a.m. Sunday, November 15, 1936 at Sacred Heart Church, Rose Agnes Sergi and James Sacco were married. The bridesmaids were Louise Saffores, Concha Larrea and Camilla Alosi. The best man was Marion Larrea. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was held at the Veteran’s Memorial Hall, with 500 guests. The centerpiece at the bride’s table was a magnificent five-foot tall wedding cake, weighing 250 pounds.

Great photo and story about the Sergio-Sacco wedding, Marions and the cake. 2 points of curiosity: When did Mariond move and what’s its status?; and, is the photographer “JH Eastman” of the Eastman Photography company that published postcards from throughout northern California–that I still see occasionally? Last is that Eastman related to the Eastman of Eastman Kodak? More stories tied to Lassen County. Glad to “hear” your recovery is coming along.
