Columbus Daily Enquirer, October 19, 1887

A Runaway Match.

A Popular Griffin Gentleman Marries a Zebulon Lady.

Probably no event has occurred in social circles for months past that has 
caused such a fervor of excitement as did the announcement of the marriage of 
Mr. Eugene Beckham, of Griffin, and Miss Maude Baker, of Zebulon. 

The marriage took place Sunday night at the residence of Mr. Joe Sparks, Rev. 
Mr. McM. Key officiating. 

Mr. Beckham has long been a suitor for the hand of Miss Baker, but his suit 
did not meet the favor of the young lady's parents. Sunday afternoon Mr. 
Beckham left Griffin and went direct to the home of Miss Baker. The young 
couple left home for the ostensible purpose of taking a drive, but instead 
came direct to Griffin and were married as stated above. 

The contracting parties are well known in Griffin, and the News joins with a 
host of friends in wishing them a long life of happiness and prosperity. - 
Griffin News. 

Mr. Beckham is one of the postal clerks on the Georgia Midland road.

Additional Comments:

Eugene Ellsworth Beckham was a son of John Carson Beckham and Mary A.C. Mann.
Maude Baker was a daughter of John Harris Baker and Louisa A. Trice.
