My aunt on my dad's side is also interested in family history. So this story comes from her interviewing my grandmother, her mother.
During the last week of February in 1943, while home on furlough, Harold Winston Todd met Jeanette Mary Elwell (age 27) at the Tick Tock Tavern (owned by her father William Vincent Elwell Jr.) After a whirlwind week, Jeanette traveled with Harold to Crewe, Virginia where he was stationed. They arrived on Friday and spoke to the priest about getting married. On Monday, March 1st, paperwork was completed and they were married in the priest's house. While in Crewe, they rented a room from a family.

Oh, by the way, the Tick Tock Tavern is in Cleveland, Ohio and is still in operation.
