MISS MARY GRACE LITTLEFIELD BRIDE OF THE REV. L.D. JORDAN
Simplicity and dignity marked the marriage of Miss Mary Grace Littlefield, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.D. Littlefield, of Woodruff, S.C., to the Rev. 
Lynwood D. Jordan, of Rochelle, which took place Wednesday afternoon at 5 
o'clock at Andrew Chapel Methodist church.  The Rev. John D. Sharp, presiding 
elder of the Americus district of South Georgia conference, performed the 
ceremony in the presence of the immediate families and many invited guests.  
The altar, banked with ferns and palmetto leaves, interspersed with baskets of 
daisies, was rimmed with smilax and starred by a myriad of candles burning in 
cathedral candelabra.  Prior to the service, Miss Jane Hill, accompanied by 
Mrs. Bessie Lou Lightner, sang "At Dawning" and "I Love You Truly".  As the 
couple knelt for prayer, she softly sang, "Seal Us, O Holy Spirit".  Mrs. 
Lightner played Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" for the processional and 
the "Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengrin" for the recessional.  Miss Hill wore 
address of pink net with a corsage of gladioli and Mrs. Lightner a dress of 
navy blue sheer crepe.  Candles were lighted by the ushers, Mr. Frank Downer, 
of Rochelle, and the Rev. Reginald Edenfield, of Kite.  Preceded by the 
minister, the couple entered together.  The bride, a charming blonde, was 
loveling (lovely?) in a Redingote model of light blue crepe, accented by 
organdie collar and cuffs.  She chose navy accessories and her corsage was of 
white carnations and snapdragons.  Mrs. Littlefield, mother of the bride, wore 
blue and white printed silk and Mrs. W.C. Jordan, mother of the groom, wore 
blue crepe.  Much significance was placed in the scene of the marriage as the 
groom united with the church there, and was ordained as a minister there.  
Following the service the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Jordan, 
entertained at a buffet supper at their home in Shiloh community.  Afterwards, 
the couple left for a short trip.  The bride was graduated from Woodruff high 
school and Asheville Teachers College at Asheville, N.C.  She taught school at 
Pitts, Ga., the past year.  Rev. Mr. Jordan was graduated fro Anthony high 
school and Georgia Southwestern college, Americus.  He also has studied at 
Georgia State Teacher's College, Statesboro, and in Baltimore, Maryland.  For 
the past four years he served as principal of Rupert and Andersonville 
schools.  He was assigned to the Rochelle charge of the Methodist church last 
November.  Among the out-of-town relatives and friends attending were Mr. and 
Mrs. T.W. Hyatt, Gaffney, S.C.;Mrs. Greta Skinner, Woodruff, S.C.,  Mrs. 
Gretta Skinner, Woodruff, S,C,  Mrs. Annie G. Jones and Miss Sue Bess Jones
