Middle Ga. Argus - Week of February 24, 1893
Gray – McKibben

Somewhat Romantic

On Sunday morning last at the residence of the bride’s father, in Henry County, 
were united in marriage Miss Mary McKibben and Mr. John Gray of Alabama, Rev. 
J. A. Jackson officiating.

About fifteen years ago Mr. Gray, the groom, was united in marriage to Miss Ida 
Wyatt, in the same community in which the last marriage was performed, and Miss 
McKibben was one of the attendants.  Shortly afterwards the couple moved to 
Alabama where they lived happily till last year when the wife died, leaving Mr. 
Gray with a family of children.  After a lapse of time Mr. Gray began to think 
of marrying again but could think of no one for a second wife but the sweet 
faced Miss Mary McKibben whom he had left behind in Georgia, and whom he had 
not seen in all these years.  He finally wrote to her and a courtship 
correspondence followed and finally photographs were exchanged, and perhaps an 
old love was rekindled.  To make a long story short, Mr. Gray came to Georgia 
last week, and on Sunday they were happily united in the holy bans of wedlock 
and at once went to Mr. Gray’s home in Alabama.
