Cairo Messenger, January 2, 1914
Married After All Night Ride In Raging Storm

After an all-night automobile ride in a raging Christmas storm of wind and 
rain, Mr. R. H. Sapp and Miss Lucy Hilton, both of Blakely, were married here 
at 5 o'clock this morning at the home of the groom's brother, Mr. J. E. Sapp, 
on Broad street.

The young couple left Blakely in the groom's auto yesterday afternoon, 
expecting to reach here in time to be married on Christmas Eve, but the storm 
delayed them to such an extent that they were all night getting here and the 
wedding occurred at early Christmas dawn instead of dusk of Christmas Eve, as 
they had planned.  Upon their arrival the groom's brother called up Rev. Lamar 
Sims, pastor of the First Baptist church, who immediately arose, went to the 
Sapp home and performed the ceremony. 

After breakfast the happy couple left for a honeymoon automobile tour through 
Florida.  Mr. Sapp, the groom, has been in business at Blakely, but after his 
honeymoon will go to Douglas, where he will enter business with another 
brother.  He has two brothers here, Messrs. J. E. Sapp and C. C. Sapp, of the 
Watt-Sapp Hardware Co.  The bride is a popular and beautiful young woman of 
Blakely -- Albany Herald

The groom is a former citizen of Cairo and where he spent his boyhood days.  
His friends are everyone and they all extend congratulations, wishing for him 
and his life companion, every blessing.  In this the Messenger joins them.
