A Silent Movie With Some Doyle History! ~ Starting with the Wedding of Marion Doyle Frazer & Otto Frazer

Next week—September 21, 2021—would've been the 80th wedding anniversary of Aunt Marion Doyle Frazer and Otto Frazer! And what timing, for Margie Frazer (their daughter-in-law) recently sent a video of a conglomeration of Doyle Family events (not in chronological order) ... starting with scenes from this wedding day 80 years ago!

How Many Relatives can you identify?
- My brother John recognized John Albert Doyle at 15:13 & 16:16 ... which might be in the midst of the wedding day of Florence (Honey) Doyle’s wedding to Crabill Waldron. 
- I see a priest in between the two John Albert Doyle shots ... I'm wondering if he is Fr. Daniel P. Daley (1894-1960) - Grandma Mary Bernadine's older brother - who served as a Missionary Priest on an Indian Reservation in Kadoka, South Dakota for many years. 
Please share who you recognize (and the time location in the video) in the comments below! 

Please see Marion Doyle Frazier as a young girl in the center of this family photo ...

Some additional comments and memories from Christ Frazer Miner, the youngest daughter of Marion Doyle Frazer & Otto Frazer ...
Thank you for the wedding video of my parents' wedding. I never knew that they had it. I never saw it! The lake house looked like Aunt Honey's [Florence "Honey" Doyle Crabill] house up at the lake. My Mom and Dad used to go up to Aunt Honey's place all the time with us kids. We'd eat dinner and us kids would swim while the adults talked and had drinks.
Aunt Honey lived in the house that she and my Mom grew up in. I think that might be the house my Mom and Dad went back to in the video.
