San Antonio Express-News society "Wedding Announcements" — McCormick-McClung wedding with portrait of Mrs. J. F. McCormick (Mary Kathleen McClung); Albert G. Menger serves as lector, uncle of the bride — 8 June 1969, p. 74

Society “Wedding Announcements” item in the San Antonio Express-News of Sunday, 8 June 1969 for the McCormick-McClung wedding: Miss Mary Kathleen McClung married James Franklin McCormick on Saturday in St. Gregory’s Catholic Church, Rev. Adolph Windisch officiating. Project value: “Albert G. Menger, uncle of the bride, served as lector of the Mass.”

This is the cleanest dated family-network attestation in the corpus identifying the Menger–McClung line. Cross-referenced with the 1974 and 1987 obituaries, the relationship traces:

  • Gus P. Menger → daughter (= Mrs. Guy La Monte McClung Jr., listed as Rose Marie McClung in the 1974 Gus P. obituary as a daughter living in Houston/Round Rock) → bridesmaids and bride.
  • Albert G. Menger (uncle to the McClung daughters) is therefore brother to Mrs. Guy La Monte McClung Jr. — one of Gus P. Menger’s daughters.
  • Sisters of the bride Rose Marie McClung and Mary Margaret McClung were bridesmaids; brother Guy La Monte McClung III was a groomsman; brother Samuel McClung was an altar boy. So Mary Kathleen, Rose Marie, Mary Margaret, Joan Ruth, Guy La Monte III, and Samuel McClung are all siblings and all nieces/nephews of Albert G. Menger.
