Clarence Custer "Cub" Britton, son of William Isaac "Ike" Britton and Elizabeth Aletha "Lizzie" Lightle, married Ellen Lovicy Waters, daughter of Harry Lee Waters and Fannie Reno, 16 Apr 1930 in Kim Colorado. The officiator was Ellen's father's brother, Victor Lyman Waters, also known as Uncle Vic, who was a Justice of the Peace.

I don't know if a wedding picture exists, but below is a photo of them, taken about a year after their marriage. I would guess that it is also one of the few, of not the only, photo of their first child, Violet Lorraine, who died as a baby of a very severe flu.
