2 Jan 1895

Cards are out announcing the approaching marriage of Miss Alice Honeycutt, of this 
parish, to Mr. F. G. Wilson, of Forth Worth, Texas. This happy event will occur at 
the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Britton Honeycutt, four miles north of town, 
on the 8th of this month.

==================================================================================

9 Jan 1895

                    Wilson – Honeycutt 
At the residence of Mr. Britton Honeycutt near town, to-day (Tuesday) 
Miss Alice Honeycutt was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Mr. Fletcher G. Wilson, 
of Fort Worth, Texas, Rev. W. D. Gaskins officiating. The marriage ceremony being over, 
and after receiving the congratulations of their many friends, the young couple departed 
for their future home in Forth [sic] Worth, carrying with them the best wishes of their 
friends.

Miss Honeycutt is a charming young lady, deeply religious, finely cultured and highly 
educated. For a while she was an assistant in the High School at this place, and by 
her skill as a teacher, kindness to her pupils and untiring industry she won the love 
and esteem of both patrons and pupils. The society of the young people in this community 
has lost one of its most popular members.

Mr. Wilson is a stranger to this community, though he brings with him evidence that he 
is a refined, honorable and cultured gentleman, and his bearings here confirms the belief 
that he is worthy of the lady whom he has won. For several years he has been a teacher 
in the public schools of Texas, but is now filling a responsible position in the postal 
affairs of the government.

 The best wishes of THE GAZETTE goes with this young couple to their new home and on 
their journey in life. We trust peace, prosperity and happiness may be their lot.

====================================================================================
