Tuck Newspaper article not dated. CAROTHERS - DeBORD The suspense is ended. They are married now and a world of best wishes go with them from everyone. All society was thrown into ecstasies yesterday when the report went out that Lowry Carothers and Zuma DeBord were married. On Saturday last, Mr. Walter Brinker went up to Greenville and the license was issued to him granting the marriage of Lowry J. Carothers, age 19, and Zuma DeBord, age 17. And yesterday about 1:30 p.m. the couple procured a carriage and were driven to the Christian church parsonage where Rev. M. M. Smith pronounced the ceremony. The couple did not alight from the carriage but remained seated while the sacred words were being spoken. Dr. Brit Burford and Miss Tullie Ligon witnessed the ceremony. They were driven to the home of Mrs. M. J. Carothers on Church street where they were given an enthusiastic welcome. Mr. L. J. Carothers will be at home after today. We wish them all the pleasant things which this life holds and trust that their journey life may be made without discord.
