DAVIS – GRAY – Married on the evening of the 24th inst. at the residence of the 
Bride’s mother, near DeSotoville, Choctaw County, Ala.  Mr. WILLIAM C. DAVIS, 
of Hamilton, to Miss MAUDE GRAY, of DeSotoville.
	In addition to our good wishes for this couple in last week’s paper we 
wish to add a few more.  While the fair bride is personally unknown to ye 
Editor, Mr. DAVIS, in our short acquaintance has impressed s most favorably as 
being one of “Nature’s Noblemen,” and our faith in his cleverness and ability 
leaves no room in which to doubt that in so vital a matter as this, he has 
shown more than usual tact, so we will take it for granted that the fair lady 
of his choice is all that his fond heart deems her.  May life for them be one 
long sweet dream of love and peace.  Trouble and cares will come to them – they 
do to all of us – but may love and firm and abiding faith in each other help 
them to bear the burdens of life.  	When old age comes on may he be able to 
say:
	And still beloved till life grows cold,
	Will wander ‘neath a genial sky
	And only know that we are old
	By counting happy years gone by.
	Old time who changes all below
	To wean men gently from the grave
	Hath brought us no increase of woe
	And leaves us all he ever gave.

It is with the greatest pleasure that we copy from the Birmingham News of July 
19th 1895 the following just tribute to our distinguished townsman, Hon. W. C. 
DAVIS, on the eve of his marriage;
	“Cards are out announcing the approaching marriage of Hon. W. C. DAVIS, 
of Hamilton to Miss MAUDE GRAY, of DeSotoville, Ala.  Mr. DAVIS is one of the 
most promising young attorneys of West Alabama.  A man of sterling worth and 
fearless determination, he made for himself a reputation in the last session of 
the State Legislature second to none in the state. Although an inland county, 
Marion has a representative who took the lead in all matters coming before the 
House.  The bride-to-be is one of the State’s most charming young ladies, sweet 
and thoroughly womanly. She will be a fit helpmeet for Marion’s gifted son.”
