Miss Katharine Comer Weds Lawrence Burdett

Cordial interest centers in the marriage of Miss Katharine Paine Comer and 
Lawrence Albert Burdett, which was solemnized at the First Baptist church 
Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock, Dr. Charles W. Daniel officiating.

The church was decorated in palms and ferns.  Tall vases of white 
chrysanthemums and candelabra holding white tapers, which were placed at 
intervals, stood out effectively against the background of green.
Preceding the ceremony, William Utermoelden rendered a musical program and 
Mrs. William Owens sang “Beloved, It Is Morn” and “At Dawning.”

Strains from the Lohengrin weddng march announced the arrival of the bridal 
party.  First to enter were the ushers, Edward M. Roberston, Ira C. Dull, 
Alfred B. Drake, Reuben F. Corless, Ernest K. Thomason and Clarence H. Beers.
Next came the matrons of honor, Mrs. Ernest K. Thomason and Mrs. Clarence H. 
Beers, sister of the bride, followed by the groomsmen, Lawton Burdett and 
Raymond Flournoy.  Miss Mattie White Kellam, the maid of honor, entered alone.
Immediately preceding the bride came the little flower girl, Rebecca Warner 
Kellam, with the ring-bearer, Master Arthur Burdett, Jr.

Mrs. Thomason’s gown was an Irene Castle model of brown flat crepe, fashioned 
along straight linesand elaborately trimmed in narrow bands of velvet of the 
same shade.  Her hat was of gold lace and she carried an arm bouquet of 
Columbia roses and snapdragons.

Mrs. Beers was gowned in power-blue crepe, made tunic style and fur trimmed.  
A toque of silver brocade and an arm bouquet of roses and swainsona completed 
her costume.

The maid of honor’s lovely gown was of tan brocaded chiffon posed over peach-
colored satin.  Her hat was a becoming model of brown lace embroidered in 
silver and trimmed in pink rose.  Her flowers were butterfly roses and 
swainsona.

Little Miss Rebecca Kellam wore a French frock of peach georgette embroidered 
in blue and carried a basket of sweetheart roses and valley lilies.

Master Arthur Burdett, Jr., who carried the ring in a lily, wore a suit of 
black velvet.

The bride was given in marriage by her father, Ransom H. Comer.  They were met 
at the altar by the groom and his best man, Lasco Burdett.

The bride wore her going-away gown, a smart one-piece model of dark brown 
bengaline, heavily embroidered in dull gold.  Her hat was a close-fitting 
toque of brown satin, trimmed in gold French roses and a small veil.  
Completing her costume was silver fox fur.  Her flowers were bride’s roses, 
showered with valley lilies.

The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ransom H. Comer and is 
popular with a large circle of friends.

Mr. Burdett is a native of Atlanta and is connected with the Burdett Realty 
company.  He is a popular member of club and social life of the city.

Immediately following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Burdett left for an extended 
wedding trip.  After December 2, they will be at their home to their friends 
in the Bonaventure Arms apartments on Ponce de Leon Avenue.
