Two Marriages

On last Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's
brother, Mr. C.M. Mahone of this place, Mr. Robert C. Brown was married
to Miss Minnie Mahone of Loachipoke, Alabama, Rev. J.A. Thurmond
officiating.

Mr. Brown is the well-known merchant of Locust Grove, and one of Henry
county's most prominent and prosperous citizens. His bride is a
beautiful and accomplished young lady and a daughter of Dr. T.F. Mahone,
a prominent citizen of Loachipoke, Alabama.

At the same hour of the same day, at the home of the bride's parents
near Concord, Pike county, Mr. J.W. Middlebrooks was united in marriage
to Miss Annie Gregg.

The bride is a daughter of one of Pike county's prominent farmers and is
a exceedingly refined and sweet young lady.

The groom is connected in business with Mr. P.C. Brown at this place and
is a former citizen of Monroe county.

He has considerable farming interest in this county and is considered by
everybody one of the cleverest young men in this section.

A fact that makes the above marriages more interesting is that the
grooms were each widowers, brothers-in-law, doing business together,
reside next door neighbors to each other, and yet their marriages
occurred at the same hour over forty miles apart.

We join their host of friends in congratulations. S.W.J. -  Locust
Grove, April 16th, 1894
