PICKENS, S. C., NOVEMBER 25, 1915
Marriages at Cateechee
On last Sunday, November
21, about 2 p. m., while the
south west wind was blowing a
tune that would almost put any
one to sleep, several vehicles
were seen coming from the east
and making their way toward
phe residence of J. Alonzo Brown
and upon arrival at his residence
it was soon learned that Mr. H.
R. Redmond and Miss Bessie
Crow wanted to be made man
and wife. As Mr. Redmond was
armed with the proper authori
ty, a manuscript from the pro
bate judge, and there being no
objections from anyone, his hon
or, J. Alonzo Brown, N. P.,
granted the request. Mr. Red
mond is the youngest son of the
late Lewis R Redmond, who no
doubt a great many people of
this county will remember as
being such a brave fearless mlan.
Miss Crow as she was before her
marriage, is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Crow of Liberty
and the many prominent people
that accompanied them from
Liberty in automobiles shows
the young couple were highly
esteemed. lhey will be at home
to their friends in Liberty after
a few days.
In about 30 minutes after this
marriage 10 or 12 buggies were
seen making their way from the
north toward the residence of
the same officiating officer. On
arriving it was made known
that Mr. Hermon Taylor of Wal
halla, S. C., route 3 and Miss
Lillie Orr of Liberty, S, C. route
3 wanted to be made one flesh
and blood. As Mr. Taylor had
the proper authority from J. F.
.Craig, C. C. P., of Walhalla,
their request was soon granted.
Mr. Taylor is a promising young
farmer of Oconee county, while
his bride is the eldest (laughter
of Mr. aed Mrs. Edwin Powell of
the Praters Creek section and is
,r~ ""-ell thought of by everyone
nows her.
out 20 minutes after the
la , arriages one Single bug
gy ft&*ning two very young
looking P( i)>Ce were seen mak
ing their way from the west to
ward the old matrimonial mill.
As they were alone and going
away from the way the wind
was blowing and being quite
'oung too, they sure (lid look
cunning and sweet. But on en
tering the parlor Mr. Marvin
Kelley had the nerve to tell his
honor, J. Alonzo B-\own that, he
wanted Miss Tessie Smith to be
his life long partner. As he was
armued with the proper authority
the request was granteI aLnd the
(Jlliciatinlg office hurried! to the
other room to tell hi.-; better half
that she would not, have to
