For the twenty-first time in the history of Carroll county and in the 
experience of J. T. Norman, J.P., a marriage ceremony was performed by 
long-distance telephone, the contracting parties being Mr. Joe Creed and 
Miss Essie Fowler. The Justice was seated at the telephone at Carrollton 
with authority in hand, and the young couple, standing at the phone of J.W. 
Barrow at Bowdon, 12 miles distant, were pronounced husband and wife. The 
Justice expressed his regret that he couldn't be present and receive his fee

had ran away and had already traveled several miles in order to even get to 
the telephone and in talking distance of an officer to perform the marriage.
