(Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, February 16, 1878, Image 3 BAGLEY -- LYONS Married. - At the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Abbeville, on Monday, the 11th December 1878, by the Rev. Father Mehault, Mr. Martin Bagley to Miss Rosa Lyons, of this parish. The bride was most tastefully arrayed in a dress of fashionable make and fine material, which did great credit to the skill of the lady whose handiwork it was. A flowing veil of tulle enveloped a modest, pretty face, but did not once conceal the trim, neat figure of the bride. The bridal groupe (sic) having arranged themselves, the officiating clergyman, in the dignity of spotless black, opened the marriage service, and the twain were soon made one. We give them joy; and wish them a long life of happiness and prosperity. At night a grand Ball was given in honor of the newly married couple, and everything passed off to the entire satisfaction of those concerned. Those who attended "tripped the light fantastic toe" 'till about 12 o'clock and then wended their way home, to seek "nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." source: The Meridional.
