Chawin – McGee

We are pleased to learn that our young friend and former townsman, Mr. Ernest 
L. McGee, was married last week in Macon to Miss M. Chawin*.  Mr. and Mrs. 
McGee left immediately for New Orleans where Mr. McGee has accepted a splendid 
position.

While the bride is a stranger to our people, Mr. McGee is a son of Mr. and Mrs. 
A.J. McGee, of this city and has hosts of friends here who have watched with 
interest his continued success in the business world.

The Herald joins friends and relatives of the happy, young couple in wishing 
them a long life of marital happiness.

*Please note in the following article, the bride's name is corrected from 
Chawin to Pliz.

Rescues Bride From Hands of “Mob”

With only the family of the minister present, Miss Martha Pliz and E.L. McGee 
were married last night at the Vineville Methodist Church parsonage, Rev. J.T. 
Ryder officiating.  The young couple will go for a short honeymoon trip of 
about one week, after which they will be home to their friends at 212 Second 
Street.

Scenting that something important was being enacted inside the parsonage last 
night, a large crowd of young people of the neighborhood, equipped with tin 
cans, rice and other articles capable of being hurled, were at the sidewalk 
ready to pounce onto the young couple and express their congratulations.  
Though considerably embarrassed over the fun of their friends the couple were 
glad when they were able to hail an automobile and be saved from the mob by 
W.W. Means, who carried them to the hotel. – Macon Telegraph

The Herald in the last issue published an account of Mr. McGee’s marriage, but 
the name of the bride was incorrect, the reported being misinformed.  The above 
is taken from the Macon Telegraph which appeared in that paper a day or two 
after the wedding event.
