The Covington News, October 6, 1915
MISS ANNIE COWAN WEDS TEXAS MINISTER
CHARMING NEWTON COUNTY GIRL AND ABLE TEXAS MINISTER, A FORMER GEORGIAN MARRIED 
ON THE 16TH.
     A wedding of inter-state interest was that of Miss Annie Comer Cowan to 
Rev. Hugh Buchanan Landrum, of Corsicana, Texas, at her home at Glen Echo Farm, 
near Covington, Ga., on September 16th, 1915
     The wedding took place at the sunset hour, on the lawn, an altar being 
erected neath a beautiful Magnolia tree, around which the bridal party 
assembled.
     Before the wedding, Mrs. Asbury Cleveland Wellborn, of Atlanta, 
sang “Perfect Love,” with Mrs. Bess Smith Cowan, also of Atlanta, presiding at 
the piano.
     As the strains of the wedding march were heard the wedding party came led 
by the children., who opened the Golden Gates, through which the altar was 
approached. These children were little Eunice Smith and Eugenia Evans on one 
side, with James Hill Shelton of Athens, nephew of the groom, and Frank 
Hardeman on the other. Then came the flower girl, Margaret Livingston, and ring 
bearer, Crystal Hope Wellborn, of Atlanta. These children each carried baskets 
decorated in green and yellow flowers, in one rose petals and in the other the 
ring.
     The children were all dressed in white. The little girls wearing sashes 
with their lingerie dresses, with the exception of the ring bearer, whose dress 
of tulle over yellow, and trimmed in yellow roses, accentuated the color scheme 
of white and yellow.
     Following the children came Miss Ruth Cowan, as maid, and Mr. Walter 
Cowan, groomsman, sister and brother of the bride. After these came the groom 
and his best man, the bride’s brother, Mr. Paul Cowan; the bride with Mrs. 
William Arthur Shelton of Athens, sister of the groom, as matron of honor, 
approaching from the opposite direction and meeting at the altar. The bridal 
couple stood beneath a bell made of Ferns and Yellow Lilies where the ceremony 
was most impressively said by the brother of the groom, Rev. L. L. Landrum of 
Dacula, Ga.
     The maid and matron of honor wore white chiffon dresses with yellow 
sashes, and wreaths of yellow flowers in their hair, and carried Golden Glow 
flowers.
     The bride was stately, and the tints of her Titian hair were enhanced by 
her going away gown of chestnut brown, a color most becoming to her beauty. Her 
hat, a white felt with soft black velvet crown, was caught at the side and 
front with two white Japonicas, and was very attractive. She wore a corsage of 
white Periwinkles.
     A bit of beautiful sentiment was the flowers carried by the attendants and 
worn by the bride were gathered from the bride’s own flower garden.
     An automobile was waiting at the side entrance to the home, and after the 
ceremony the bride and groom slipped away for a week’s visit to his people in 
Fayetteville and Dacula, before going on to their home at Corsicana Texas.
     The mother of the bride, Mrs. John Alexander Cowan, received her guests 
gowned in black Olga crepe. She was assisted by Mrs. Otis Hardeman, Mrs. Paul 
Hardeman, Mrs. Ophelia Hicks, Miss Marie Lynch of Eatonton, and Miss Agnes 
Cowan. Punch was served on the lawn by Miss Frances Livingston and Miss Lucille 
Davis. Miss Ada Livingston was keeper of the bride’s book.
     Mrs. Landrum is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Alexander Cowan. 
Mr. Cowan has been prominently identified with the educational interest of 
Georgia, his daughter cooperating with him in his work. By her personal charm 
she has won hosts of friends who regret her going out of the state to make her 
home.
     Rev. Hugh Buchanan Landrum graduated in the Class of ‘06, at Emory 
College, with a post-graduate course in Theology at Vanderbilt. He has been in 
ministerial work in Texas for the past five years. He has advanced rapidly and 
is leaving behind him as the years pass by an enviable record in his adopted 
state.
     Rev. and Mrs. Landrum expect to reach their home in Corsicana, September 
25th.
