Atlanta Constitution, 11 October 1883
GRETNA GREEN.
A Happy Marriage Yesterday Under Impromptu Arrangements and Circumstances.

Yestday about noon it was rumored about the Markham house that a charming young 
lady of Gainesville and a wealthy young Cincinnatian were on the point of 
entering the holy state of wedlock.  The young lady was Miss Estelle Lawshe, 
daughter of Colonel P. F. Lawshe, of Gainesville, and the young Cincinnatian 
was Mr. Charles W. Van Vleck, who is largely interested in mining in north 
Georgia, but whose home is in Cincinnati.  The young people were accompanied by 
several friends and the party had rooms at the hotel.  It was hinted there was 
a touch of romance in the prospective marriage and it was kept as secret as 
possible.  At half-past two o'clock three carriages appeared at the ladies 
entrance of the hotel, and the bridal party entered the carriages and were 
driven to the First Methodist church, where they met Rev. Clement A. Evans, the 
pastor.  The party was composed of the happy couple, with Mrs. Ralph Van Dusen 
and Mrs. Landrum, both sisters of the bride, Mr. Landrum and Mr. Norman Lawshe, 
a brother of the bride.  General James Longstreet also accompanied the party in 
the role of best man to the groom.  At the church General Evans, in an 
impressive manner performed the ceremony, and the bridal party returned to the 
hotel. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Van Vleck left for Savannah.
The day for the marriage had been appointed but the details had not been 
arranged.  The young people met in the city yesterday and arranged for the 
marriage hastily and happily it is hoped, and THE CONSTITUTION extends its best 
wished for their future welfare.  The groom is a gentleman of means and social 
position, and his bride is a most estimable lady.
