At Baldwinville, was solemnized one of the most beautiful and impressive 
weddings ever transpiring in Talbot County, when Dr. Edmund Worrill Carter of 
Prattsburg led to Hymen’s altar, Miss Leila Deane Baldwin.

On Wednesday afternoon, at half-past five a good number of close friends and 
relatives assembled in the fragrant parlors to witness the ceremony.

From the vine-wreathed veranda to the remotest alcoves of this picturesque home 
wedding bells seemed to chime tenderly sweet and solemnly soft in token of this 
happy and sacred union.

Flowers, music and joy came to perfume and illume the magical eventide of this 
golden last of June.  From a piano, all flower scented and fern-bedecked Miss 
Mary Leticia Baldwin of Atlanta invoked Mendelsohn’s inspirations.

The bride and groom from the rear hall, together, and stood within an 
improvised altar of ferns and palms.  And the gentle voice of Rev. J.G. 
Harrison, seemed intoned to “Hearts and Flowers” as he pronounced the magic 
words.  The bride has ever been the home angel, her manner, gentle, modest and 
retiring is “exquisitely feminine.”  She never appeared more lovely than on 
this occasion attired in a white lingerie gown, trimmed with ribbon.  An armful 
of pink carnations gave a note of color, typifying the roseate wishes of her 
many friends.

Dr. Edmund Worrill Carter is a descendant of Worrills’, Lumsdens and Carters, 
who have stood for all that is true, beautiful and good.  He is a noble person 
of noble race, and has the confidence and esteem of a large circle of friends 
and is the beloved physician of a wide territory of northeast Talbot and 
portions of other counties.

Miss Mary Baldwin vivacious brunette beauty was enhanced by a one piece braided 
lavender soisette.

Pink and white ices, with cakes were dispensed by Miss Emily Baldwin, Annette 
and Mareole Leonard, who were daintily sweet and fair in white frocks.

The out-of-town visitors were: Mr. S.B. Baldwin of Atlanta, Mr. F.B. Baldwin of 
Columbus, Mr. W.G. McCord of Pelham, Miss Mary L. Baldwin of Atlanta, Mrs. 
Chas. King, sister of the groom, with her children from Atlanta.

After the bride had donned her going-away gown.

“Onward the bridal procession now moved to their new habitation
Happy husband and wife and friends conversing together.”

At Prattsburg, they were received in the home of Dr. Carter by his mother, Mrs. 
John Allen Carter.

The wedding remembrances were many and handsome, the heartfelt wishes for 
life’s best gifts, their “name was legion.”
