FORMER PEQUAMING YOUNG LADY WEDS
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Warren Hebard 508 Oakland Avenue, Ann Arbor, have announced the marriage of their daughter, Emily Elizabeth, to Mr. Stephen Waldo Jessop of Detroit and Petoskey.
The wedding took place at the residence on Tuesday, February 10th, at four-thirty o'clock, only family relatives being present.
Mrs. Jessop was born in Pequaming and made her home there until she was about twelve years old, when she moved with the family to Ann Arbor. She attended the high school there, afterwards going to Chevy Chase School at Washington, D. C.
Mr. Jessop enlisted in the army when war was declared and was sent to Camp Custer as an instructor in chemical warfare. When sent to France he joined the Ambulance Corps, where he saw hard service. He was both gassed and wounded in the closing battles of the war, cited for bravery and unusual service in battle and received the Croix de Guerre for meritorious service while he was a sergeant in the American Ambulance Corps early in October of 1918. This coveted honor was presented by a French officer.
Mr. Jessop returned to this country in January 1919 with the rank of lieutenant.

Some of the Heroes.
One of the men to enter the university yesterday, for the first time, was Lieut. Stephen Jessop of Petoskey. Lieutenant Jessop was 21 years old last week Tuesday. He has just returned to this country, the proud bearer of two service and one wound stripes. It was purely by accident that one learned that he had been awarded a Crois de Guerre by the French government, for conspicuous bravery, and the cord on one shoulder of his uniform meant so little to most of the student body, and the few who knew it stood for an American citation, and were inquisitive, got no information from Lieutenant Jessop. Even though he was gassed at Verdun, and was proud of it, he wouldn't talk about it.
