Betty Dean Knox Christening Was the Loudest, April 16, 1925

Miss Knox Is Heard

No, this does not mean Miss Emilie Rose Knox, the violinist, who frequently gives recitals here. The center of the stage this time was occupied by Betty Dean Knox, aged five months or thereabouts. She was christened in the Episcopal church Sunday, and during the ceremony she let forth a series of wails that indicated extreme displeasure at the entire episode. Mr. and Mrs. Braune were here godparents. Billy and Wecky Woolen were christened at the same service.

At the Presbyterian church, Gustave Adolphus Harrer Jr. was christened.

Monday afternoon Mildred Nelson Denny was christened at the Episcopal church. Her grandfather, a clergyman of Bel Air, Maryland, administered the rite. Her aunt, Miss Jackie Yellott, and Miss Nina Cooper were her godmothers. Rev. A.S. Lawrence and Frederick H. Koch were her godfathers, but, Mr. Kotch being away from town, Mrs. Koch acted as his proxy.
