Jackson Argus Week of April 16, 1897
Atkinson – Byrd

J. P. Atkinson (the governor’s son) aged 16, was married last week to Miss Ada
Byrd (Mrs. Mary E. Bryan’s grand daughter), aged 14.  The old saying. “Love
laughs at locksmiths,” should be amended to read, “Love ignores the trundle bed.”

MARRIED AGAIN

J. P. Atkinson and Miss Ada Byrd were re-married in Chattanooga last Sunday. 
Dr. MacDonald, of Atlanta performed the ceremony, and when it was concluded the
bride burst into tears.   The couple left for Nashville where they will spend
their honeymoon.

The wedding gown of Miss Byrd was her first long dress, a pretty dark blue and
white plaid.  The boy groom was attired in a light suit.   He has the appearance
of a fourteen-year old lad.   The newly wedded couple will live with the boy’s
father.

Governor Atkinson’s eleven-year-old son attended the wedding.  Before leaving
his mother she told him not to get married before his return.  She did not
attend the wedding.
