Title: "Irish Travelers" return to Memphis.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ‘IRISH TRAVELERS’ RETURN TO MEMPHIS #c-3443 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- For 75 years bands of roving horse traders traveled through the South, descendants of Irish who had emigrated from County Mayo in the early 1800s. Although they were commonly referred to as gypsies, the more enlightened Southerners called them “Irish Travelers.” Each year they came to Memphis for one day to hold their weddings and funerals. Although the advent of the automobile saw many of them leave the road, they still follow the business of horse trading throughout many towns of the South -- and gather in Memphis once a year. Here five couples kneel before the altar of St. Thomas church in a quintuple wedding. The five couples are (left to right): John J. Riley and Ann Theresa Carroll; James Carroll and Ann Theresa Riley; John Costello and Marie Costello (no relation); John Costello, a first cousin of the previous John Costello, and Mary Marie Carroll; Thomas Nelson and Betty Riley. Youngest attendant at the wedding was eight-month-old “Red” Nelson. The oldest was his great-grandfather, 87-year-old “Red” Nelson, a son of one of the original immigrants.

Title: Industrial chaplain.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: INDUSTRIAL CHAPLAIN #3619 TOCCOA, Ga. -- When his application to become a Navy chaplain was rejected shortly after Pearl Harbor, the Rev. Elliott N. Lindblad decided to become an “Industrial Chaplain,” counseling and serving the “soldiers of the production line.” Late in 1941 he became chaplain at the LeTourneau Company here. Photo shows him (right) discussing a problem with one of the LeTourneau employees. His work during the war was so effecting in curbing absenteeism and improving the morale of the workers that the company has carried his program over into the reconversion period. He conducts daily chapel services at the plant and visits the employees’ homes when they are sick. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BW-AT-JOUR-MES-5D-6-W-D)
