Whelpley and Miss Alma Lawhorn at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W.O. McIntosh, of this city, on Thursday afternoon last was an agreeable surprise, as it was quite unexpected. Rev. Scott, pastor of the Methodist church, performed the ceremony that united in holy matrimony one of our most popular citizens and one of our lovely and attractive young ladies. There were no cards, only the immediate families being present. Immediately after the marriage the happy couple left on the A.C.L. train for Tampa. They returned Saturday evening on the Tampa Northern. The Brooksville brass band gave them a delightful serenading on their return. They are now at home to all their friends. The bride is a charming young lady who came from Buena Vista to make her home in our beautiful city several months ago. She has become deservedly popular, as she possesses a most winning and attractive personality. All who know her are warm and devoted friends. Mr. Whelpley has been for many years a progressive citizen of Brooksville, being closely identified with the growth and prosperity of the city, much of which is due to his active efforts and generous public spirit. He has been for a number of years tax assessor of the county and president of the city council. He is also president of the Brooksville board of trade. The happy couple have the blessings and hearty good will of our entire community upon their nuptials. – Southern Argus, Brooksville, Fla.
