I dont know if it matters much, but it should be Mr. & Mrs Buddy Bolen. They were my grandparents. I found this sight randomly searching names of people in my family, and you had the obit of my Grandma that just passed away.

Thanks for the correction. The newspaper had the names misspelled. They omitted the McMahon family who was also in attendance. I'm not sure which paper the clipping came from, otherwise we could write the editor to complain :)
