Ah, June. It’s the traditional month for weddings.

And so Ellis Kriebel of Harleysville thought it would be appropriate — and fun — to share a wedding photo of long ago with our readers.


And to suggest that, perhaps, others in the area have wedding photos that they would like to share as well.

Kriebel notes the following about the pair posing for this wedding snapshot:

“Irwin S. Kriebel married Debra Heebner on Nov. 28, 1908, at the Heebner residence located adjacent to Heebner Park in Worcester.

“For many years they resided at 609 Derstine Avenue in Lansdale. They were the parents of Gerald H. Kriebel, who was the principal at the Hatfield High School for many years. They were the grandparents of Lucy, wife of Dr. R. Lawrence Derstine of Harleysville.

“Irwin at one time was a motorman-conductor for the Inland Traction Co. He lost a leg in a trolley accident in the car barn located on Second Street in Souderton.”

So there, in a nutshell, is the story of this married couple.

Anyone else care to share?
