"Two of the Gypsum valley's most popular young people were married last Sunday, when Miss Lola Tracy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tracy, and Mr. LeRoy Borah, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The wedding took place at noon at the home of the bride's parents, Rev. T. W. Stamp, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Glenwood Springs performing the ceremony which made the two man and wife. The Tracy home was beautifully decorated with great banks of lilacs for the occasion, and a number of the friends of the bride and groom were witnesses to the happy event. Miss Alda Borah, a cousin of the groom, acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. Willis Staup accompanied the groom. Following the ceremony the guests were seated to a bountiful dinner served by the bride's mother. After the festivities following the marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Borah left for their home, which the groom had provided for his bride on upper Gypsum creek, followed by congratulations and wishes for a long and happy married life by a host of admiring friends." -- Eagle Valley Enterprise, June 6, 1919
