Middle Ga Argus – Week of March 8,1887

Marriage at Indian Springs

On Thursday at 3:30 o’clock p.m.,Mr. John T. Harris, of Oliver Ga., and Miss 
Gussie Pound were joined in the holy bans of wedlock in the Baptist church at 
Indian Springs by Dr. Thomas H. Timmons, of Jackson.

The church was beautiful decorated  with evergreen’s and flowers and precisely 
at the appointed hour the happy couple entered, preceded by their attendants 
and slowly took a position under the beautifully woven arch, as the 
accomplished Mrs. G. B. Elder played a wedding march.  The ceremony, through 
short, was beautiful and impressive.

As the twain stood before the altar to take the life-binding obligations, the 
scene presented was beautiful and lovely.

After the ceremony the bridal pair and a number of friends returned to the 
residence of the bride’s parents, and were invited into the dining hall where 
they partook of a most sumptuous repast.  The table was literally laden with 
rich viands too numerous to mention.  Suffice to say the editor of the Argus 
was on hand an did his part.

The groom is one of east Georgia’s most prosperous young merchants, and the 
bride is one of the fairest and loveliest of Indian Springs accomplished 
daughters.

The following is a list of the bridal presents:  Mrs. H. J. Lamar, Macon, 
silver nut stand; Col. H.J. Lamar, Macon, silver card receiver; Miss Carrie 
Harris, pair silver vases; Mrs. Samuel Singleton, silver sugar spoon; Mr. J. W. 
Freeman, silver cup handsomely engraved; Mr. J. W. Leverett, set silver

silver berry stand; Miss Joe Varner, life photograph of herself; Mrs. M. C

Willie Brewer, tea set of 98 pieces; Mr. R. Brewer, French China water service;

embossed on it; Miss Nannie Allen, beautiful embroidery.

After an hour most pleasantly spent in the parlors of the bride’s parents, the 
newly wedded pair with a few friends boarded the 5:30 south bound train for 
Oliver, their future home.  The Argus joins their many friends in hearty 
congratulations.
