Slappy, both of this county, took place at the home of the bride's mother on yesterday afternoon. Quite a large number of relatives and special friends witnessed the very impressive ceremony which was performed by Rev. O.L.Peacock. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Slappy left for Americus where a reception was tendered them last night at the home of R.H. Slappy, father of the groom. Miss Tison is one of the most worthy girls of our county, and possesses every requisite qualification for the new life she has settled into. Mr. Slappy is an all-round up- to-date farmer, and in addition to that, he holds a position with the Agricultural Department as Guano Inspector. The happy couple are at their lovely country home near LaCrosse, where their many friends wish for them all success and happiness. The News wishes to join them in sincere congratulations. Additional Comments: (NOTE: The bride here, Miss Stella Tison/Tyson is the same individual who brought suit for breach of promise against one Anthony J. Hill in Jan. 1902. The suit alleges Mr. Hill jilted Miss Tyson. It eventually ended in a mistrial in October of the same year. Newspaper accounts of the case can be found in the Schley Archives under More Hill Items.) Max Tatum's "Schley County Marriage Records" indicate a marriage date of 16 Jun 1904.
