I love these names…..

Helen Vermont McLean was the daughter of Thomas Delay McLean & Nancy ‘Belle’ Stevens.  Harris Purdy Hunter was the son of Seldon Hanley Hunter & Frances Venetta Purdy.  At the time of their marriage in 1932, Harris was a Merchant, she a stenographer.

Other than his obit, little else is known as the pair did not have any children
