Article (probably clipped from Daily Southtown, unfortunately without a date): Sisters Wed At Same Service: "Shirley Mae Stevens was married to George A. Novak, while her sister, Margaret Mary, became the bride of Bernard L. Galligan in a double ceremony August 23 in St. Martin Church. The brides are the daughters of Mr. & Mrs. Frank E. Stevens Sr., 313 W. 58th st. Mr. Novak is the son of Mrs. Johanna Novak, 5831 Sangamon st., and Mr. Galligan is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Galligan.

They carried bouquets of white roses and stephanotis.

Richard's tombstone at St. Mary's in Evergreen Park gives his birth date as 10-6-1928 (though he is somehow omitted from the family in the 1930 census) and his death as 5-2-1971. He had married and divorced and served in Korea before his death. In the Florida death index his middle name is given as Edward.
