1936
Chester A. McIntire, Cherokee Indian baseball catcher was the talk of the sporting world today.Not that he had followed the example of other nationally prominent athletes by announcing a comeback, either.
The fact is, news of the veteran receiver's marriage to the former Miss Arilda Angle, which occurred last March 14, has just leaked out.Chester, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. McIntire, and Miss Angle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Angle, who live northeast of Cherokee, were wed at Coldwater, Kansas.They have been making their home with his parents on their farm southwest of the city.
