Vada Stewart1

Female, #42572, (say 1902 - )
Married Name Her married name was Bankson. 
Birth*say 1902 Vada was born say 1902. 
Marriage*4 Mar 1933 She married William Emmett Bankson at Columbia, Richland Co., South Carolina, on 4 Mar 1933. From the News and Observer, Raleigh, NC, 6 Mar 1933:

Bankson-Robertson. A wedding of interest to many friends in Raleigh was solemnized on Saturday evening at 8 o-clock, in the first Presbyterian church of Columbia, South Carolina, when Mrs. Vada Stewart Robertson, of this city, became the bride of William Emmett Bankson, of Jamestown, Alabama.

The ceremony was most impressive in its quiet simplicity and was attended by only the relatives and most intimate friends of the contracting parties.

The bride is the daughter of the well-known Stewart family of Harnett county, North Carolina, and was educated at Meredith College. The groom is a graduate of Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, Alabama, and is an engineer in the employ of Jensen, Bowne, and Farrell, of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Following their honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bankson will be at home at 112 New Bern Avenue, here.

From Lew Griffin, 9 Oct 2003: This is courtesy of Ktty McLamb, who has been kind enough to send me the original faded page from the 1933 newspaper. If you are a descendant of this couple, or a close relative of either of them, I'd be happy to send to the original copy of this article. Contact Lew Griffin.2
