John A. McClure Married

Mr. John A. McClure went to Weatherford, Texas, last week, where he was
married to Mrs. Anna Davis, returning to Pauls Valley on Friday night, to
receive the congratulations of hosts of friends.  They will make a trip to
Arkansas a little later.  Following is an account of the wedding from the
Weatherford Hearld:

The wedding of Mrs. Anna Dinsmore Davis and Mr. John A. McClure, which
took place at the Seminary last Monday morning, was one of the prettiest,
quiet home weddings seen in Weatherford for many a month.  Only relatives
and a very few special friends had been invited to be present and it was 
a happy expectant group that was gathered in the parolor, when Miss Bess
Stephens began the wedding march, from Lohengrin, to the beautiful notes
of which the bride and bridegroom entered from the rear parlor, preceded 
by Mr. and Mrs. Lawhon of Dallas, their only attendants.  In the alcove of
the front parlor was standing the minister, Rev. George M. Oakley, who, in
solemn words, impressive and beautiful, said the marriage ceremony and made
them man and wife.  After the ceremony, an elegantly prepared and delightful
course breakfast was served in the dining-room, given as a compliment by
the grooms sister, Miss Elizabeth McClure, president of the Seminary.  Mr.
ad Mrs. McClure left this afternoon for Mineral Wells, from where, after a
few days stay, they to the coast, after which they will go to Pauls Valley 
where they will make their home.  The bride is a woman of much culture and 
refinement and during her two years stay in this city, has made many warm
and true friends.  The groom is a leading attorney of Pauls Valley and
highly esteemed by all who know him.
