In 1934, Elizabeth Van Dyck Ford and Harold Butcher made headlines when they announced their engagement and married.
Elizabeth Van Dyck Ford was an American piano teacher. She lived in Morristown, New Jersey, where the couple's wedding took place on Saturday, June 23, 1934.
Mr. Harold Butcher was a British journalist and writer born in Peldon, Essex, England. In 1934, he was living in the United States, working as a New York correspondent for The London Daily Herald.
Their engagement was notable enough to be profiled in the society pages of newspapers like The New York Times. After their marriage, they eventually relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Harold continued his career as a freelance journalist and author.
