A Secret Marriage

While visiting her sister at Talbotton last Wednesday two weeks ago, Miss Resie 
Bethune of Buena Vista and Mr. Phil Wynn were secretly married.  Miss Resie 
returned to her home here and Mr. Wynn went to St. Augustine, Fla., where he 
was engaged in business.

The matter leaked out somehow and Dr. Philpot, grandfather of the groom, acting 
as peacemaker and pacifier, was here Sunday and Miss Resie, or rather Mrs. Wynn 
returned to Talbotton and Mr. Wynn was telegraphed for.

The only objection seemed to be to the ages of both parties – the groom being 
nineteen and the bride seventeen years of age.  Miss Resie was exceedingly 
pretty and her personal charms very attractive.

There is a little romance attached to this wedding that is not generally 
known.  When Miss Resie first saw the light of this world Dr. Philpot was 
present, and she being such a pretty little tot the doctor asked the privilege 
of naming her which was granted and he named her Resie for his wife.  So it is 
a little romantic that after seventeen years the doctor should call for her and 
claim her as his granddaughter.

We wish Mr. and Mrs. Wynn many years of happiness.
