Miss Norris Weds James Early Owen

Zebulon, Ga., November 22 – The wedding of Miss Fannie Maude Norris and James 
Earl Owen, of Zebulon, was solemnized at 5 o’clock Wednesday at the home of 
the bride.  

Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. H.E. Armstrong, of Barnesville, cousin of the 
groom, sang “Because”.  Rev. Virgil F. Agan, of LaGrange, performed the 
ceremony.  The wedding march was played by Mrs. R.P. Barnett, sister of the 
groom.  Little Evangeline Carter, dressed in blue crepe de chine with lace and 
ostrich trimmings, and Jeanette Armstrong, wearing pink georgette trimmed in 
ruffles and hand embroidered, both carrying bouquets of roses and baskets of 
rose petals, were flower girls.  Master Will Tom Kendrick, dressed in white, 
bore the ring on a satin pillow showered with lilies of the valley.  The groom 
entered with W.H. Norris, brother of the bride, as his best man.

The bride entered with her sister, the matron of honor, Mrs. R.L. Carter, of 
Thomaston, and took her place by the groom under the large wedding bell in 
center of the room before a beautiful improvised altar of stately palms, ferns 
and smilax, intermingled with baskets of white and pink chrysanthemums.  At 
either side of the altar were tall pedestals on which were silver candelabras 
holding pink and white candles.  The decorations were supervised by Mr. Wylie 
W. Mitchell, of Zebulon.

The bride was exquisitely lovely in her snow-white wedding gown with trimmings 
of lace and pearls.  Her veil of tulle and satin ribbon was held in place by a 
bandeau showered with valley lilies.  She carried a shower bouquet of bride’s 
roses and lilies of the valley.

The matron of honor was gowned in apricot satin with iridescent beaded bands 
and rich marabou trimmings, carrying a lovely arm bouquet of pink roses and 
fern.  Mrs. R.P. Barnett played appropriate music during the ceremony.

Mrs. J.W. Kendrick, of Roberta, sister of the bride, received the guests 
gowned in shutter green satin, while a younger sister, Miss Mary Ernest 
Norris, presided over the bride’s book.  Punch was served by Misses Florein, 
Igene, Mary and Ruth Carter.

Mrs. Owen is the accomplished young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Norris.  Mr. 
Owen is a successful farmer and oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Owens.  They 
left for a trip to points in Florida.  Mrs. Owen traveled in a gown of 
midnight blue charmeen and becoming hat of gold cloth, with accessories to 
match.

After about ten days Mr. and Mrs. Owen will be at home to their friends at 
Owen Heights.
