The Talbotton New Era Thursday, April 21, 1904 Page 6 Barnes – Williamson The Barnes-Williamson marriage last Thursday noon was witnessed by a large number of friends. From the front hall to the cozy lunchroom was an artistic bower of beauty and fragrance. White and green was the color scheme and dogwood was the predominating flower. Under the skillful touch of Mrs. Annie Moore, the wedding march, as soft as the zephyrs, floated out over the silence, as if to tell of its happy mission. Then came the pretty little ribbon girls forming a silken arch, under which two dainty little maidens made a veritable carpet of roses. Silence all serene was broken, when the beautiful bride carrying a shower bouquet of white carnations and ferns as a finishing acquisition to her elaborate toilet, entered on the arm of Miss Richards of Talbotton, maid of honor, and the groom accompanied by Mr. Lynch, of Montgomery, Ala. at the altar. Rev. Mr. Allen in a most appropriate and impressive manner made them man and wife. They left at once for Montgomery.
