The Monroe Advertister (Forsyth, GA),  June 1918
Shell-Means
     Quite a beautiful event was the marriage solemnized at the First 
Methodist church Saturday noon between Miss Mildred Shell of this city and 
Rev. Walter Hillyer Means of Yatesville.  Quantities of white oleanders and 
pink and white hydrangeas were artistically arranged in front of a background 
of ferns and palms in and around the altar.  Just before the ceremony Mrs. 
James Jacob Heard beautifully sang "Because."  At the hour appointed the 
lovely strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Lilly Trippe and 
accompanied by Miss Doris Trippe on the violin, announced the arrival of the 
bridal party.  First came the ushers, Messrs. Robert Newby, John Thigpen, W. 
B. Shell and Otto Trippe.  The bride attired in a becoming tailored suit of 
blue with hat and other accessories to match and carrying a shower bouquet of 
white roses and lilies of the valley, never looked more attractive than on 
this occasion, leaning on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Lois Shell, who 
wore a charming frock of white crepe de chine and holding an armful of 
Killarney roses.  They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, 
Mr. Berner Means.  During the ceremony, beautifully and impressively performed 
by Rev. W. L. Wright, Lange's Flower Song was softly played.  Mrs. Means is 
one of Vienna's most charming and accomplished young women and is loved by all 
for her happy and sunny disposition.  Rev. Means, having just finished with 
honors his training for the ministry, possesses many sterling and manly 
qualities, and a happy and useful career lies before them.--Vienna News
