#52ancestors Week 6 Social Media (February 5-Feb. 11)

This weeks prompt Social Media kind of had me stumped.  But then I started to think about my in laws growing up in Northwestern Indiana.  Crown Point, Indiana.  This is the county seat of Lake County 

Lorraine and Paul both worked at the movie theater that was on the court house square.  

As with most small time midwestern towns at that time the local papers had many "social" items posted in the paper.  Kind of like "Facebook".  I wish I had ask my mother-in-law how she felt about being in the paper.  Below are a few of the post before they were married.
