Married At Glendale

Friday evening of last week, at 6:00 o'clock, Betty Eyrse, of Hermosa Beach, daughter of Mrs. Charles Naffziger, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was married to Robert J. Snyder, of Los Angeles. Rev. Fagen, pastor of the Wilshire Christian church, performed the service at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather, in Glendale.

Note: Between 1920 and 1930, Bessie Wendell became Betty Eyrse. The reason and means of this transition are uncertain -- she is listed on the 1930 census as divorced, which suggests a brief marriage in the 1920s, but I find no evidence of it, or of a man named Eyrse in the Los Angeles area. It is also odd that, with no children from the alleged Eyrse marriage, she retained the surname until she remarried to Robert J. Snyder in 1935. DLB 2021.
