"BUNKER-MARGISON WEDDING
  A high school romance culminated in the marriage Sunday of Miss Lorraine Margison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Margison and Paul Robert Bunker, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Bunker. The Rev. J.J. Bailey officiated for the single ring ceremony in the parsonage of the Methodist church at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, before only the attendants, Miss Evelyn Margison, sister of the bride, and Richard Bunker, brother of the groom.
  The bride wore a brown gabardine two-piece suit and accessories of brown and gold trim, and a corsage of orchids. Her bridemaid was attired in a black wool dressmaker suit with winter, white accessories and her corsage was of gardenias.
  Mr. and Mrs. Bunker left for a week's honeymoon trip of unknown destination following the ceremony and on their return will be at home with her parents for the present.
  Both are graduates of the Crown Point high school.
  Serving overseas in the Europe Theater of War for 42 months Mr. Bunker was honorably discharged about six weeks ago. He is now employed as chief electrician for the city."

Lorraine and Robert had two children, Robert Wesley Bunker, b. 20 August 1948 and Gina Christine Bunker b. 16 February 1951.




20 August 1948
"Robert Wesley is the name given the son born to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bunker in Mercy hospital Friday. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. William Bunker and Bert Margison, whose daughter, Lorraine, is the baby's mother."



16 February 1951
"Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bunker have a new daughter, born Friday at Mercy hospital in Gary. Gina Christine and her mother, the former Miss Lorraine Margison, expect to come home today (Thursday)."

"Gina Christine is the name chosen for the daughter born Friday night to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bunker. Robin Bunker and his father are staying with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Margison until Gina and her mother return from the Gary Mercy hospital."
