NEGRO WEDDINGS MIX UP THE RELATIONSHIPS
Husbands and Wives, Father-in-Laws, Mother-in-Laws, Etc., All Come at Once
	Wekiwa, Tulsa County, today was the scene of one of the most unusual wedding ceremonies in the history 
of this county, and, if fact, of the whole state.  The affair was a double wedding and all the participants in 
the joyous occasion were negroes.  The unusual feature of the double union was that mother and daughter were 
both married at the same time.  Mrs. Mattie Taylor, age 36, was married to Will Barret, a negro swain of the age 
of 39, and immediately after Ora L. Taylor, daughter of Mrs. Mattie Taylor, was married to Henry C. Gordon.  The 
young couple were aged 20 and 25 respectively.
	In the short space of a few minutes, Henry Gordon secured a wife, a mother-in-law, and a 
step-father-in-law.  Miss Taylor secured a husband and a step father, while Mrs. Taylor secured a second husband, 
and a son-in-law.  Will Barret secured a wife, a step-daughter and a step-son-in-law.
