parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Webb, of Hickory, the Rev. Sturges
officiating. Two o'clock in the afternoon was the hour appointed
for the ceremony, but long before that time the numerous guests
from all parts of the township had arrived, bringing with them
many beautiful presents as tokens of their esteem for the young
couple. Promptly at the appointed hour the members of the bridal
party took their places in the east parlor, Mr. Clarence Webb,
brother of the bride, acting as groom's man and and Miss Crawford

solemn and impressive marriage rites of the Methodist church, and
with hands clasped in the presence of God, His humble minister of
the gospel and the assembled relatives and friends, the happy
couple became man and wife. After hearty congratulations from all
