J. A. RANKIN and MARTHA PEARCE

RANKIN-PEARCE

Mr. J. A. Rankin and Miss Martha Pearce, both of this city were 
married Wednesday afternoon at 7 o'clock while seated in a buggy 
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Schooler near Edith.  Rev. J. C. Johnson 
of the Baptist church spoke the ceremony, that united them for life.

The happy couple left Thursday for Ballinger to spend a few days and 
from there they will go to the Worlds Fair at St. Louis.

The bride was one of our most popular young ladies and has many friends 
who love her for her loving disposition and traits of true young 
womanhood.  She is the sister of banker H. H. Pearce and sister of 
Mrs. W. B. Hamilton.

The groom is a rising young business man of this city and holds the 
prominent position of Bookkeeper for the Robert Lee Gin.  He has only 
been in Robert Lee about a year but by his manly dealing and moral life 
has made many friends who wish for himself and fair young bride all the 
joys of life without a cloud.  The Observer congratulates Mr. and Mrs. 
Rankin on their happy union of heart and hand.

From the Robert Lee Observer, Coke County, August 1904.
