HUBERT HAYLEY AND RETHA HENSLEY, Coke County, TX HAYLEY-HENSLEY Mr. Hubert Hayley and Miss Retha Hensley greatly surprised their many friends Sunday morning by being quietly married, at the Methodist parsonage, Rev. W. E. Anderson officiating. The surprise to their friends was not in the fact of their marriage, for their friends had believed for a long time that they would marry, but did not expect the cosummation of the happy event so soon. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hensley and is admired by all who know her for her beautiful graces of mind and heart which qualify her for presiding with grace and dignity over the home of the one to whom she has given her heart and hand. She was a member of the graduating class of the Bronte High school and it was only last week that she was a light and happyhearded graduate of the school, hence that was the reason for the surprise to her friends, that she so shortly became a happy bride. Therefore her many friends wish her a double portion of happiness in her now and happy relations as a bride. The groom is a Bronte boy having been reared here. He is one of the foremost and most progressive business men of the town, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all our people. "Hubert," as he is known to all is congratulated by his friends upon his good fortune in the winning of the affections of one so fair and charming to be his life companion. With the hosts of friends of these fine young people the Enterprise joins in wishing them von boyage as they set sail upon the seas of wedded life. May the sunshine always be golden for them and the shadows but few; and as they journey towards life's sunset may they grow in the love and confidence and esteem of each other and may their hearts ever beat as one. (Bronte Enterprise, Coke County, TX, May 1923. This clipping was found in Ethel Pearce Hayley's scrapbook. A note in her handwriting says they were married 20 May 1923.)
