The Covington News, January 15, 1913
CARTER-FLEMMING
     A pretty social event of the past week was the marriage of Miss Mary Sue 
Carter, of Covington, and Mr. John Madison Flemming, of Knoxville, Tenn., which 
took place at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Laura Queen Carter, on 
Wednesday, January 8th, at 11 o’clock. Rev. John G. Logan officiating.
     The home was beautifully decorated with ferns, hyacinth, narcissi and 
southern smilax. An improvised altar in the rear of the hall formed a pretty 
background for the wedding party.
     The four ribbon bearer’s, Mrs. Robert Yarborough, of Atlanta: Misses Ida 
Shelnut, of Sandersville; Dorothy Lee and Mary Sockwell, of Covington; all 
wearing white lingerie dresses, and carrying white burning candles, entered 
first, and were followed by the matron of honor, the bride’s sister, Mrs. C. D. 
Shelnut, of Sandersville, wearing a pretty white suit. The bride entered with 
her brother, Mr. John Carter, of Newborn; the groom with his best man, Mr. 
George Carr, of Covington.
     Mrs. John J. Corley added much to the impressive of the occasion by the 
selections played before and during the ceremony, first. “When Love Wakes Up 
From Sleep.” Just before the ceremony, Mrs. Robert Yarbrough, of Atlanta, sang 
very sweetly “Because” and “Humoresque” was played softly during the ceremony. 
The bride wore a  handsome blue cloth tailored suit, with hat to match, and 
carried Parma violets.
     As the guests entered they were served punch from a prettily decorated 
table in the parlor by Mrs. Lester Lee, and after the ceremony a delicious 
salad course with tea was served.
     Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Flemming left on the noon 
train for Knoxville, the home of the groom, where they will spend a month 
before returning to Covington, where they will make their future home.
     The out of town guests included Mrs. John H. James, Mrs. Claud Lee, Mrs. 
Robert Yarborough, of Atlanta, Mrs. John Walden and daughter, Miss Rosa Lee 
Ellison, Mrs. P. E. McWilliams, of Stockbridge; Mrs. Ida Chupp Carroll of 
Lithonia; Mrs. Jas. B. Shelnutt, of Monroe; Mr. and Mrs. Gus Clay, of Walnut 
Grove; Mr. and Mrs. John Carter, of Newborn; Mrs. C. D. Shelnutt and daughter, 
Miss Ida Shelnutt, of Sandersville; Miss Fannie McCart, of Newborn; Mr. and 
Mrs. Mack Carter, of Madison.
