Pardee at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Boggs at Prattsburg where she was visiting at the time. Even her own family knew nothing of her intention until informed by friends Saturday morning. There was no objection to the match, but it was simply the wishes of the couple to keep the matter a secret as long as possible and have the marriage performed quietly. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Bennie Slappy of Butler, and is one of our most accomplished and refined young ladies. Mr. Pardee is the popular young depot agent for the A.C.L. Railroad at Carters, Fla. He came to Butler for his first visit on the midnight train Friday, secured his license at that hour of the night after inducing the aid of newly found friends, spent the remaining hours until the daylight train upon which he returned to Talbot County, sought a minister and soon the nuptial knot was tied. The couple had known each other for many years. The acquaintance and friendship was formed in Florida where Miss Slappy has often visited. After the ceremony they left at once for the groom’s home in Florida. Additional Comments: **Note - the first name of the bride is spelled exactly the way it appears in the newspaper. I'm not a researcher of this family and don't know the name for this individual. Please contact me if you know the bride's full name and I'll have it corrected.
