Brandon - McLean

Barnesville, [April] 25, 1890
As the hour hand pointed to three last Wednesday
afternoon, Miss Annie McLean and Mr. J.W. Brandon were
united in marriage at the home of Mr. McLean. Rev. J.B.
Johnston performed the ceremony. Soon after the marriage,
Mr. T.W. Cochran, not being a country boy thought he
would have some fun. So he aroused the neighborhood by a
continuous ringing of the farm bell. The consequence was
that we had a large crowd for dinner and plenty of good
things left. The table was beautifully decorated and had
everything on it the heart could wish for.

The bridal presents were numerous and costly and were
given as follows: Blannie Stafford, Mr. and Mrs. T.W.
Cochran, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hurd, Joe Wright, Miss
Fannie Whitaker, Miss Lucy Bloodworth, Geo. Perdue,
Albert Middlebrooks, Miss Alice Willis, Miss Nettie
Wright, Mr. and Mrs. V.O. Marshburn, J.W. Brandon, C.H.
Reviere, Miss Nannie Howard, and John Howard.

After partaking of refreshments the entire party left for
a reception given by the grooms father, where Mr. and
Mrs. T.M. Hagood were the host and hostess of the
evening. The large tables fairly creaked under the heavy
loads of eatables of various kinds. John Howard, V.O.
Marshburn and T.W. Cochran furnished amusement for the
crowd until a late hour, when all of us returned to our
homes happy, but none were happier than the married
couple. The expression of everyone was that they never
had a happier time.
