Booth & Arbuckle

Young People: From Houston Wed Here

Mrs. T. W. Brown of this city on Thursday evening of last week received a message from her son in Houston, stating that "We are leaving for Weimar. Have something good to eat, and have a preacher on hand." This message no doubt somewhat mystified the good mother, but we opine that she had a suspicion of what was to t follow. At any rate she went ahead and prepared a good supper 'and had her pastor, Rev. C. C. McKinney, on hand--for eventualities we suppose

About 10 o'clock a car drove up to the Brown residence, and Mr. Milton Booth, Mrs. Brown's son, and Miss Annie Bess Arbuckle, a popular young lady from Houston, stepped out. A few words to the mother, family and preacher, and the situation was explained. Milton and his pretty sweetheart had decided to get married, and they wanted Rev. McKinney to perform the ceremony. This the reverend gentleman did, and in a few moments the crowd was seated at the table and enjoying a magnificent wedding supper.

Supper over the young people stated they had decided to continue westward on a honeymoon trip to San Antonio. Eagle Pass and points in Mexico, so the folks at home were told good-bye and the young couple left on their trip. They were back In Weimar on Monday afternoon, en route to Houston, which city they will make their home.

The groom was born and raised here. He is a young man of sterling integrity, a successful business man, and is connected with one of the largest business firms in Houston. Our people think a great deal of him, for he is, indeed a fine young man. The pretty bride is a Houston girl who for some time past has been employed as bookkeeper, cashier and phone operator for . a big Houston concern. She is highly regarded by all who know her.

Our hearty congratulations and best wishes go out to them.

The last wedding of the Nineteenth century in Columbus was that of Mr. Whitworth Boyd and Miss Gussie Stafford, which took place last Thursday afternoon about 3 p. m., at the Methodist church, Rev. F. O. Favre, the new pastor, officiating. Long before the hour announced for the ceremony a large crowd had assembled, composed chiefly of relatives and friends of the young couple, testifying to the esteem and high regard in which they are both held. The decorations were beautiful, consisting of pink and white morning glories on cedar and ivy, with now and then a spray of mistletoe. At the altar three large arches were erected from which hung two white satin hearts pierced through and through by Cupid’s own arrow. At the first notes of the wedding march, rendered by Mr. H. C. Mix, the bridal party entered, composed of Messrs. Oscar Zumwalt and H. W. Carothers as ushers, followed by two little flower girls, Misses Glennie and Trula Harbert, who preceded the bridal couple. The bride was dressed in white satin, with train and veil, and looked as sweet and pure as a lilly itself. Whit is too well known for comment, but will say that he emigrated from Tennessee several years ago to this place, where he has since resided, first as a school teacher, and now as a lawyer, in which later profession he has built up a good and lucrative practice, and is popular and well liked by all who know him. Beautiful, petite and graciously sweet in disposition, Miss Gussie is a native of our city, the daughter of Mrs. C. P. Boone, and beloved by all who know her.

Frazar & Thatcher

MARRIED, at the home of the bride’s parents, Eagle Lake, January 26th, 1887, Mr. N. Ford Frazar and Miss Josephine E. Thatcher, the Rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest officiating. As one of the participants of the marriage feast, I would say the bride was lovely in her loveliness. Many fair daughters have I seen, but thou excellent them all. She was dressed as a bride adorned for her husband, and with the groom pledged their troth each to the other, as though naught but death should break it. Mr. John Thatcher and his estimable lady contributed to the comfort and gratification of the outward and inner man, as though it were quite natural for them so to do. But why multiply words? Suffice it to say, it was one of those agreeable wedding feasts which live in the memory fresh and green, for a life time.
What compares with the wedded bliss,
In this world of care and trial,
When two young hearts have thus consented,
To live, and love and be contented.

Hollien & Regenbrecht

Our good friend, Chas Hollien, slipped off last week to Austin county, and on Wednesday was united in marriage to Miss Clara Regenbrecht, a popular and most accomplished lady of that county. He and his bride arrived home the latter part of the week, and friend Charley has since been busy explaining to his friends why he failed to notify them of the happy event. The writer had the pleasure a few days since of meeeting[sic] Mrs. Hollien, and found her a most pleasant lady, to know whom is to like her. Everybody knows Mr. Hollien, and while we feel that he has drawn a prize in the matrimonial lottery, we also feel that Mrs. Hollien has chosen wisely and well, for Mr. Hollien is a good man any way you take him. We wish them all manner of success and happiness for the future.

Horak & Harrell

Young Couple Are Wed Here Tuesday

The marriage of Miss Nona Harrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Harrell of Osage, to Frank Horak, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Horak, Sr., of Wildwood, was solemnized here Tuesday morning, Nov. 26, at 8 o'clock at St. Michael's Church, with the Rt. Rev. Joseph Szymanski officiating.
Groomsmen were John Horak, Erwin Marek and Edwin Knebel. Bridesmaids included Misses Leona Horak, Billie Harrell and Irene Urban.
Witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Leo Horak.
Honoring the young couple, a wedding dance is to be staged Saturday night. Nov. 30, at Billeck's Hall.
Mr. and Mrs. Horak are to live in Weimar.
An interesting sidelight on the wedding was the fact that it was to have been solemnized Monday. Excessive rains, however, which flooded creeks between Osage and Wildwood, made it impossible for the prospective groom to reach the bride-to-be. And so the event was postponed until Tuesday, at which time the wedding was solemnized on schedule.
