The Landmark Of Statesville, NC October 26, 1895
The camp meeting at Liberty Church (Alexander Co.) which began this past 
Friday evening closed at 10 o'clock services yesterday. Presiding pastor Elder 
Rowe came up on thhe train last Friday evening and remained. Rev. James Wilson 
was present and provided on service on Sunday................ four infants 
were babtized and ten joined the church on provision of faith. Sunday while 
the people  were eating dinner, Rev Mr. Norton was quietly taken into the 
church and united Marcus Wilson Grant and Miss Mary Etta Ellis in the bonds of 
matrimony. They tried to keep it a secret but the church was crowded by the 
time the ceremony was over. The crowd behaved very well.

Additional Comments:
Mary Etta Ellis was the mother of Lou Arnette Grant who married Clarence 
Clayton "Jack" Payne. She was my great-grandmother on  my fathers side of the 
family. Charlene Payne Issak
