1888 - 
MARRIED - 15 June 1888 - THE REVIEW, Athens

The Marriage Bells of Athens and Tyler

Mr. R. L Gauntt of Athens and Miss Tommie Broughton of Tyler, were 
married on Wednesday, the 13th at the residence of the bride's mother
in Tyler.  The young couple arrived in the city Thursday morning and 
are now domiciled in Dr. Johnson's new residence.  Several young 
gentlemen of Athens attended the wedding and report an enjoyable 
time. THE REVIEW extends thanks to the newly married couple for some 
elegant cake.

Miss Broughton's father was one of the most able attorneys in the 
state and before his death was first at the Tyler bar.  Miss Broughton 
is a young lady of accomplished mind and manners and in society is
refined and elegant.  Of noble family she possesses all the 
qualifications that become the loving, faithful and helping wife.

Mr. Gauntt has been identified with Athens for several years and he 
is known as one of the most enterprising and industrious young men
in the town.  To know the Mr. Gauntt is to like him.  He is one of
the most honest men in the world.  Is kind, gentle and affable and
we assure Miss Broughton that she has secured a husband that will 
treat her like a queen.

THE REVIEW extends its sincere hope that they may enjoy a long 
peaceful, happy and prosperous life and that the allotted three 
score and ten years may pass over their heads lightly and leave 
no trace of the care and anxiety thrust upon man by the cruel winds 
of  adversity.  May life be true, real, earnest and sweet to them 
and may the false mirage of luxurious ease, which is only seen in 
real life as _________ in the desert of despair vanish like myths 
and leave them true happiness of faithful love.
