I wondered when I could ever get back to Theresa Pake. Since I couldn’t make time, I thought I would share something about her anyway!
On January 20, 1928, Theresa married Roy Lawrence. I’m posting this late on January 20, 2015, so that it’s the date of their anniversary. Roy was born 5 November 1884, about 9 years before his bride.
Roy was a cigar smoker, but he quit when he married Theresa.
Is Theresa’s hair marcelled here? And what is the corsage she is wearing?

Great photos. He does look a lot older than she does. Was he really only 41? Do you know how they met? I have more questions…but they can wait!
Hahaha, I will get you what information I can in the future . . . .
Such a serious-looking couple!
Good for you for putting up “something” even if you haven’t had time to work on them. You’re doing better than I am lately. I’m impressed you posted it on their anniversary!
Yes, I think Theresa’s hair was styled along the lines of a marcel wave. Here’s a nice overview of the process that was used: http://www.1920-30.com/fashion/hairstyles/marcel-wave.html
I learned a new word from reading this post. I’d never previously heard of “marcelled” hair. But after reading this post–and looking at Theresa’s hair, I naturally had to google the term. 🙂
I love that hair. I got a perm a couple of times trying to replicate it.
I would agree that the hairstyle is a marcel wave. My grandmother also had her hair that way in the 1930s.
