Miss Rachel Lois Freeman Weds Mr. Joseph Lee Duncan

One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was that of Miss Rachel Lois 
Freeman and Mr. Joseph Lee Duncan, which took place at the home of the bride’s 
parents near Waverly Hall on Wednesday the 6th of December at four o’clock.

The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion in southern smilax, fern 
and cut flowers.  The mantle was banked in smilax and yellow chrysanthemums 
with a beautiful centerpiece of white chrysanthemums.

Miss Mamie Freeman, sister of the bride, was maid of honor.  Mr. E.R. Jordan 
was best man.

The bridal party entered the parlor to the triumphant strains of Mendelson’s 
wedding march, played by Miss Leila Byrd Jones.  “Hearts and Flowers” was 
played during the ceremony.  Rev. W.E. Stewart performed the ceremony in a most 
beautiful and impressive manner.

The bride was beautiful in blue chiffon broad cloth.  Among her ornaments was a 
beautiful watch a gift of the groom.  Her bouquet was of white carnations and 
ferns.

Miss Freeman’s dress was dark blue silk with lace and velvet trimmings.  Miss 
Jones was lovely in white chiffon broadcloth with elaborate lace trimmings.

After the ceremony the ceremony a delicious luncheon was served.  The many 
handsome presents received attested the popularity of the bride and groom.

Miss Freeman is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Olin Freeman and is 
a young woman of rare grace and beauty.  Her sweet disposition and graciousness 
of manner has made her very popular wherever she is known.

Mr. Duncan is a successful merchant and is held in high esteem by all who know 
him.

**Note – in the first two articles pertaining to this marriage, the groom’s 
name was M.C. Duncan.  In this last article in the December 14th issue, his 
full name is Joseph Lee Duncan.  If anyone is researching this family and knows
