Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 14 Feb 1902, p. 6, c. 3
There was a very pleasant little gathering of friends at the home of Mr. and 
Mrs. J. F. Gregory on south G street last Sunday, the occasion being the 
marriage of their daughter, Miss Lillian Belle, to Mr. Hal Byron Nye. The 
bride was beautifully attired in a dress of white swiss interwoven with point 
d’alencon lace, while the groom wore a suit of the conventional black. The 
room in which the ceremony took place was beautifully and artistically 
decorated with English ivy. The words which united the heart and hand of this 
happy couple were said by Rev. W. B. Moore, with the easy grace so suited to 
the occasion and peculiar to this very popular reverend gentleman. After the 
ceremony, which took place promptly at 2 o’clock, had been performed and the 
friends had each and all paid their compliments and had spoken the sincere 
congratulations they felt, the guests were ushered into the dining room where 
was spread a very delicate and tempting repast of which all were asked to 
partake. The tables were decorated with La France and Bride’s roses. After 
this elaborate repast had been partaken of and pleasant converse and repartee 
had held sway for an hour or more carriages were announced to be in waiting at 
the door and the bridal party was driven to the beautiful home which the groom 
had previously and elegantly furnished for his bride, corner of north G and 
Sixth streets, in which this happy couple at once set up housekeeping. The 
bride is the daughter of one of our most respected pioneer families and is a 
native daughter of the state. She is a young lady possessing all the 
qualifications of pure, bright, winsome womanhood, affable in disposition and 
a prime favorite with all–-a lady well qualified to preside over the pleasant 
and comfortable home in which she has been domiciled by her indulgent husband. 
The groom is one of Medford’s most popular and progressive business men, being 
proprietor of the Medford Racket store. He came to Southern Oregon a few years 
ago from Montana and engaged in mining, afterwards purchasing the Racket store 
stock of goods in this city. It was Mr. Nye who made famous the Bill Nye mine, 
on Galls creek, and in honor of whom the mine was named. He is a gentleman of 
exemplary habits and possesses business qualifications far beyond the average 
of man. His business foresight and aptness in placing to good account the 
opportunities laid before him has enabled him to accumulate a snug little 
fortune which himself and good wife will now enjoy. Those present at the 
wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Cox, Mr. and Mrs. E. Lewis, Mrs. F L 
Oranfill, Mrs. T J Cochran, Misses Belle Cochran, Louise Job, Pansy Carney, 
Hazel and Ethel Cox, Messrs. Marion Kershaw, H E Earhart, H G Wortman, Thos. 
Carney, N B Nye, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gregory of Central Point, Mr. and Mrs. 
Dermott of Portland.
