Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 19, 1884
Elder – Elder

At the residence of the bride’s father in the city of Macon at 7 o’clock on the 
14th instant.  Mr. W. F. Elder, of Jackson, was married to Miss Mary E. Elder, 
of Macon.  Rev. J. O. A. Cook, Pastor of Mulberry Street church officiating.  

No cards were sent, only the near relatives and a few special friends witnessed 
the nuptials. The presents were numerable and valuable consisting of useful 
costly castors, water services, fine furniture, etc.  We regret that we have 
not a list at our hands to publish for the benefit of the friends of the bride 
and groom.

After the ceremony the happy pair remained in the room only a few minutes to 
receive the congratulation of relatives and friends, when they boarded the 
train for Jackson, where they were met at the depot by some special friends who 
accompanied them to the Dempsey House where they will make their home for the 
present.

Mr. Elder is a most estimable young man, a gentleman possessed of many noble 
qualities, a character of decision and firmness and is well qualified to fill 
any position of honor or trust.  Mr. Elder has been in the fancy grocery 
business here for the past two years and has now an enviable reputation for 
fairness and gentlemanly bearing in every instance.  He is highly esteemed by 
our whole people.

The bride is a very popular young lady in the Central city, whose pleasant and 
agreeable manners and uniform kindness have gained for her warm friends with 
all who had the pleasure of coming into intimate relationship with her.  The 
bride and the groom seem to be unmistakably fitted for each other and we 
congratulate them both in the choice they have made and trust that their 
pathway through life will ever be as pleasant as the first few days of their 
honey moon.
