Wednesday, December 23, 1885 Page Three Married Carmichael – Beard On last night Hon. J.M. Carmichael of Ozark, took unto himself for a wife, Miss Emma Beard, one of Coffee’s fairest flowers. To say they just suit, is but a mild expression on our part to convey our idea of their happy union. The groom is a leading citizen of the State, whose reputation as a lawyer and gentleman is not limited to the confines of our common wealth. He has held various prominent offices in our State; and no doubt be our next Circuit Judge. His political life has been a continuous success, showing the hold he has on the hearts of his countrymen. His life as a private citizen shines with no less luster. Miss Emma, his bride, is one of the most charming ladies we ever knew. Her personal attractions have captured one of the most prominent men of the State, and led him captive to her will. In her Mr. Carmichael will find a wife whose heart pulsates with noble feeling and whose affections he might well be proud. Her many good deeds and her kind actions have won her numbers of friends who with great regret give her the parting hand to go with the one whom she has given her heart. Miss Emma has gone, who will we find to fill her place? No one. A vacuum has been created that can be filled by no one. In this marriage we must say Coffee and Dale are more closely united. We feel proud to thus strengthen our relationship with the grand old county of Dale. Several intimate friends witnessed their marriage. As fine supper as we ever saw, and indeed the occasion was a very enjoyable one. The couple left this morning for Ozark followed by many good wishes. They were accompanied by S.N. Rowe, with Miss Ella Law, and H.L. Martin, with Miss Maud Roberts. A delightful time awaits the happy crowd at Ozark. We wish the couple ever pleasure in life and that an unusual happy future awaits their steps in life. – Coffee County News File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/dale/vitals/marriages/beard273mr.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/alfiles/ File size: 2.6 Kb
