The Ellaville Sun  Friday, June 3, 1938  No. 49
MISS FRANCES BROOKS BECOMES BRIDE OF WILSON JARRELL AT LOVELY HOME CEREMONY
Unusual beauty and charming simplicity marked the marriage of Miss Frances 
Brooks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Brooks of near Ellaville, to Wilson W. 
Jarrell of Butler, which was solemnized last Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock 
at the home of the bride.  The Rev. Richard C. Howard of Ellaville officiated 
at the simple ring ceremony.

An impressive altar of southern smilax and spruce pines was arranged in the 
spacious living room.  Adjoining the altar were floor baskets of pink 
hydrangea and white gladioli, interspersed by two sevenbranched candelabra, 
which were lighted before the ceremony by Felton Brooks, brother of the bride.

Miss Ouida Brewer of Butler sang, "I Love You Truly," during a musical played 
by MIss Emily Jarrell, the groom's sister, also of Butler.  The party entered 
to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March.

The radiant bride, a pretty blonde, wore a becoming dress of blue marquisette, 
redingote style, trimmed in blue lace.  She carried a bouquet of sweetheart 
roses showered with lillies of the valley.

Her aunt, Miss Alma Wall of Americus, was maid of honor.  She wore a lovely 
floor-length gown of pink net and an off-the-face pink hat.  Her bouquet was 
of talisman roses.

Blanford Jarrell, cousin of the groom was best man.

The bride's only nephew, Herschel Lawhorn, entered carrying the ring in the 
heart of a lily.  He wore a white gabardine suit.

Following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks entertained at a reception.  
Misses Myra Brooks, a sister of the bride; Marjorie Wimbish and Margaret 
Greene presided at the punch bowl.  Miss Winfred Greene kept the bride's 
book.  The dining room was effectively decorated with pink roses.  A lace 
cover overlaid the table.

The couple left immediately afterward for a trip to north Georgia and 
Tennessee after which they will make their home in Butler.  Mrs. Jarrell's 
going away costume was of triple-sheer navy blue with white accessories.

Mrs. Jarrell is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, prominent citizens 
of Schley county who formerly resided in Taylor county, near Butler.  She was 
graduated from Ellaville high school and Georgia Southwestern College at 
Americus.  For the past three years she has taught at Crowell's school in 
Taylor county.  Her sisters are Mrs. Sarah Lawhorn and Miss Myra Brooks.  
Felton Brooks is her only brother.

A son of Mr. and Mrs. T.D. Jarrell of Butler, the groom was graduated from the 
Butler high school.  He is associated with his uncle, Ernest Jarrell, in the 
mercantile business there.
