Birmingham State Herald December 31, 1896
The social event of the holidays in Clay County was the marriage of Henry Jones 
Willingham, president of Louisville college, and Miss Sallie Nichols, daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Nichols of Lineville, which was celebrated at The Baptist 
church in, Lineville on Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The ceremony was 
pronounced by Dr. W. A. Whittle, of Birmingham, in his usual eloquent and 
impressive style, in the presence of one of the largest audiences ever assembled 
in our county on a similar occasion, Mrs. M. N. Manning, of Ashland, presided at 
the organ, and the attendants marched up the aisles of the church to the step of 
the sweet, silvery tones of a wedding march, perfectly rendered by the magic 
touch of the talented organist, in the following order: M. H. Whatley and Miss 
Ola Northen, F. J. Ingram and Miss Nora Arnett, Stell Blake and Miss Elouise 
Montgomery, Allen Moon and Miss Loula Bartlett, closely followed by Prof. 
Willingham Fred Willingham and Miss Claudia Evans. Then came two pretty little 
flower girls with lovely baskets of beautiful flowers, closely followed by Prof. 
Willingham and his bride-elect, all meeting at the altar, where stood Dr. 
Whittle, made an attractive and impressive scene. The words were soon spoken 
that linked two lives inseparably together and make hereafter two hearts beat as 
one. The prominence of the parties added Interest to the occasion. Prof. 
Willingham is an A. M. graduate of the Howard college, and has for three years 
been, president of the Lineville college, widely has Increased In, patronage 
year by year under his management. He is a fine educator and has a bright future 
before him. His bride is a cultured and accomplished lady, possessing many rare 
and admirable graces and a worthy companion of the man of her choice. Their many 
friends extend congratulations and wish for them long, happy and prosperous 
lives.
