The Ashland Progress, date unknown
"A Beautiful Home Wedding -- Wednesday at 10 a.m. a beautiful and happy 
marriage was solemnized in the presence of a large number of the friends and 
relatives of the contracting parties at the  home of the bride.  The 
contracting parties were Mr. George Thornton House and Miss Sarah idora 
Carpenter.  
The beautiful parlor was artistically decorated.  The bride and groom entered 
the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohns Wedding March, rendered by Miss Etta 
Steed.  The happy couple stood under a beautiful arch of evergreens and roses, 
and the writer pronounced the words that made them man and wife.  While the 
rites of matrimony were being solemnized, soft and sweet music was rendered.  
The bride looked beautiful and charming in her wedding gown of silk.  
Mrs. House is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Jno L. Carpenter, and is a most 
excellent young lady of many amiable traits.  She has taught school 
successfully for several years and is admired by a large circle of friends.  
Mr. House is a noble young man of LaFayette, Ala.  He is a gentleman in the 
true sense of the word, and numbers his friends by his acquaintance.  He is a 
young business man, being engaged in the mercantile business in LaFayette.  Mr. 
House is being congratulated by all on his good fortune in winning Miss 
Carpenter as his bride.  
Immediately after the marriage they boarded the A B & A train at Lineville for 
LaFayette where they will reside in the future.  
May success and happiness attend their efforts, and may Heavens richest 
blessings be upon them all down the pathway of life. F. J. Ingram"
