McDowell – Muse

Shiloh, Ga., August 19 – The marriage of Miss Lila Agnes McDowell and Rev. 
Paul Muse of the South Georgia Conference, which took place at the home of the 
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. G.Y. McDowell Thursday afternoon at 6 o’clock, 
was one in which centered marked interest.

The wedding was quiet, witnessed by only a few intimate friends and 
relatives.  The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. I.C. Jenkins of 
Jacksonville, Fla.

The bride is endowed with all those feminine graces that constitute a lovely 
woman.  She is richly endowed with the noblest qualities of mind and heart, 
and in winning her for a life companion, Mr. Muse has plucked from the garden 
of love, one of its fairest flowers.  The bride was handsome in a blue 
tailored traveling suit, with hat to match.

Rev. Muse possesses unusual gifts of mind and heart.  The happy couple left on 
the 7 o’clock train for a two months stay in South Carolina.

Following were the plans for fourteenth, from which date the wedding was 
postponed on account of the serious illlness of Mr. Muse.  The wide veranda 
was to make a charming setting for the wedding which would have been 
solemnized at the vesper hour.  A tall green hedge would enclose the veranda, 
and an aisle formed by the crescent shaped alter of bamboo between the white 
columns tipped with clusters of roses, this decoration with the impraid of 
tiny lights, glittering in the vines would have been suggestive of a flower 
ete.

The bride would have been attended by her sister, Miss Eleanor McDowell as 
maid of honor; Miss DeLaney of Orlando, Fla., Miss Altona Crawford and Miss 
Willie Neal as bridesmaids; little Eugenia Paxson, flower girl.

Mr. Exley of Kincon was to be best man.  The bride would have been given away 
by her father.  Miss Gertrude McDowell of Griffin was to sing to the 
accompaniment of Mrs. Fuller, pianist.

A buffet luncheon was to be served by Mrs. Paxson and Mrs. Anderson, sisters 
of the bride.
