MISS CAROLYN ATHON WEDS BERNARD A. SNIPES
Miss Carolyn Athon, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Athon, became the 
bride of Bernard A. Snipes, at a ceremony solemnized Sunday afternoon at 3:30 
o'clock at the First Baptist church in Americus.

The Rev. Richard C. Howard read the impressive marriage vows while a musical 
program was played by Mrs. Welber Smith, organist.

The lovely bride wore a navy blue triple sheer crepe made redingote style.  
Tiny tucks formed the full circular skirt with white lapels and collars 
completing the trimming on the coat.  Her smart high crowned straw hat was of 
navy trimmed in white and worn with a veil.  Her accessories were of navy with 
white gloves and her corsage was of white sweet peas and roses.

Mrs. Snipes is a graduate of Oglethorpe high school and the Georgia College of 
Beauty Culture in Americus.  Since August, 1936, she has been manager of the 
Ellaville Beauty Shoppe.

Mr. Snipes is a graduate of the Ellaville High School.  For the past four 
years he has been connected with Wilson's drug store.

Immediately following the ceremony the couple left for a short wedding trip.  
They are residing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D.L. Rainey.
