Alice is on track! Reta Bane (note spelling) is the individual who was teaching at GCHS and married Ralph Rinkenberger. Genealogy files confirm this. Yes, indeed, the whole affair was very romantic and exciting. They both were a little older than average. They, and the community, were all smiles at the development of this marriage. They were married June 5, 1949.
Casey's question contains dates about ten years later. I'm not sure that the issue is settled with the information on Reta Bane. I'm wondering if the news article quoted isn't mixed up in some fashion.

I did wonder that - did the newspaper article have the wrong last name?

Thanks for the message! Good logic! Your combination of names did not occur to me but it sounds quite reasonable. You need to submit
