Further to my last post, another article about the wedding says they will make their home in Swift Current. It also says Capt. Fred Carr, MC, RCAF, will be best man.

I find Mr. & Mrs. Walter Adams in Dunelm which is in the Swift Current electoral district in the 1935 Voters' Lists.  Reference to them in the local history book show Mrs. Walter Adams as the President of the local Victoria Order of Nurses:

And the story of their lives:

They left Saskatchewan in 1937 and moved to Vancouver.  Kate died in 1967 aged 84 and Walter in 1971 aged 88.
