The couple, married 22 years before being divorced two years ago, was remarried by the Rev. W. S. Nelson (extreme right) who stood on a raised platform but remained on foot. The best man, Robert Banta of Ypsilanti township (extreme left) and the matron of honor, Mrs. Banta (next to Mrs. Hodgins), also were on horses. The ceremony was performed under cloudy skies.
