Marriage of Mr. Brown and Miss Smith at Flovilla

Henry County Weekly

The most brilliant social event of the season at Flovilla was the marriage of 
Mr. T. J. Brown and Miss Melvina Smith at the Methodist church at that place, 
at 4:30 o’clock last Thursday afternoon, Revs. Elam and Frank Culpepper 
performing the ceremony, which was witnessed by a very large number of friends.

The arrival of the bridal party was announced by the familiar tones of the 
wedding march, and the arrangements were carried out in a most attractive and 
perfect manner, the ministers entering and passing down the isles one on each 
side, followed by the attendants and bridal couple in exquisitely arranged 
order.   Little Mary Lucy Turner and another little girl of like age performed 
a dainty part and scattered the bridal path with flowers.  The bride and 
bridesmaids carried Bride’s and LaFrance roses.

Judge W. A. Brown, the groom’s brother, and Miss Hattie Smith, the bride’s 
sister, were first honor attendants, with Mr. T. H. Buttrill and Miss Heard, 
Mr. Will Minter and Miss Calloway as  the other couples.  The church was 
decorated with much beauty and taste, and the entire scene presented a 
bewitching tableau throughout the ceremony.

The contracting parties are two most excellent and highly esteemed young 
people, and have hosts of friends throughout Middle Georgia who wish them all 
happiness and prosperity.  Mr. and Mrs. Brown left immediately after the 
ceremony for Luella, where they have made their home.
