Hallenbeck-Stamper
Winston-Salem, July 6. – In the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends, Miss Mabel Stamper, of Winston-Salem, and Harold M. Hallenbeck, of Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, were united in matrimony Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock. The wedding which took place at the home of the bride’s parents on Arlington street, was characterized by the utmost simplicity.
Prior to the ceremony a musical program was rendered by Mrs. Edgar R. Clapp, of Winston Salem, at the piano, assisted by Edgar R. Clapp, baritone. The father of the bride, Rev. G. A. Stamper, officiated.
The groom entered with his best man, Perry E. Seagle, of Raleigh. They were followed by the junior bridesmaid Miss Jean Stamper, sister of the bride, dressed in orchid and carrying a green basket of yellow gladioli. Next came the maid of honor, Miss Ina Stamper, of New York City, sister of the bride. Miss Stamper wore a chiffon and carried an arm bouquet of yellow gladioli.
The bride entered on the arm of her brother, Clarence A. Stamper, of Tampa, Florida, who gave her in marriage. She was dressed in eggshell yellow flat crepe with accessories of self-color, and carried an arm bouquet of butterfly roses and orchids, with a shower of lilies of the valley.
Immediately after the ceremony an informal breakfast was served to the bridal party and the guests, in the dining room. Following the breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Hallenbeck left for an extended trip through interesting points North, and will be at home after July 15, at West Hartford, Connecticut.
Mrs. Hallenbeck is the oldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Stamper, of Greensboro, where the Rev. Mr. Stamper is pastor of Centenary Methodist Church. She graduated from North Carolina College for Women, Greensboro, and for the past five years has been rural supervisor of the Forsyth county school.
Mr. Halenbeck graduated from Union College, Schenectady, New York, and is affiliated with Ginn and Company, educational publishers, of New York City.

HALLENBECK, Mabel (Stamper) Hallenbeck, 93, a former resident of West Hartford (1929-1992), died July 24, 1995, in South Orleans, Mass., after a short illness. She was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, a supervisor of elementary schools in Forsyth County, N. C., and a teacher for 24 years, 17 of which were in West Hartford. In later years, she was also an avid amateur photographer. She was a longtime active member of First Church of Christ, Congregational, West Hartford, and a longtime volunteer in the John Webster Library at the church. She was predeceased by her husband, Harold M. Hallenbeck; and her daughter, Janet Louise Hays. She is survived by her daughter, Ann Hallenbeck Mills of South Orleans, Mass.; a sister, Jean Stamper of Brevard, N. C.; five grandchildren, Karen House of Denver, Colo., Sharon Hays of Harwichport, Mass., Steven Mills of Glastonbury, Jennifer White of Harwichport, Mass., and Jeffrey Mills of Ellington; and five great-grandchildren. The decease requested that there should be no visiting hours or funeral, but a private family memorial service at a later date at Cape Cod, Mass., following cremation. The family has requested no flowers be sent, but that memorial contributions be made instead to a charity of the donor’s choice. The family has also asked all concerned to remember the “89 2/3” birthday party as one of the nicest memories shared. Mrs. Hallenbeck left this final message to her family who wishes to share it with her many friends. “The search for the good life never ends, but I have found two guideposts which have been helpful to me. The first is the collage suggested by St. Paul’s fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, kindness, and self-control. The second is the simple advice from Micah: to love kindness, do justice, and walk humbly with God. I hope you will find your own guideposts that lead you surely to the good life. Thanks for the joy that you all brought into my life. I look forward to our reunion somewhere ahead. With love.”
