Birmingham News May 14, 1896
On last evening at 8:30 o’clock a notable wedding took place in the Baptist 
church at Lineville. More importance is attached on account of the prominence of 
the families thus united. Mr. J. J. Haynes of Ashland, Ala., and Miss Minnie 
Bell of Lineville were the contracting parties. The church was most beautifully 
decorated with ferns and flowers. Over each aisle leading to the altar stood an 
arch of exquisite flowers. On one arch was inscribed "Haynes" and on the other 
"Bell". The attendants were L. R. Moon with Miss Mattie Bell, E. L. Whatley of 
Ashland with Miss Emma Haynes of Ashland, H. J. Willingham with Miss Sallie 
Nichols, Stell Blake of Wedowee with Miss. Lizzie Upshaw, Miss Claudia Evans, 
attended by J. F. Willingham, presided at the organ, Rev. W. J. D. Upshaw 
pronouncing the marriage ceremony. Mr. J. J. Haynes is a rising young attorney, 
who numbers his friends by his acquaintances. Until a year ago his home was 
Lineville. The bride is a daughter of J. A. Bell, tax collector for Clay County. 
Her accomplishments, beauty and sweet disposition made her a general favorite 
among her friends, who are loath to give her up. Rev. W. A. Whittle, D. D. and 
H. R. Dill. Esq., both of Birmingham, will respectively preach the commencement 
sermon and deliver the annual address at the closing exercises of Lineville 
college in June.
