Approaching Marriage

On Wednesday, December twenty-eighth, at one o'clock, at the home of the bride's father, Mr. E.M. Smith, in north Glasgow, Eld. Z.T. Williams, of Montpelier, Ky., will be married to Miss Mary Smith. Elder J.H.O. Smith, of Valparaiso, Ind., brother of the bride-to-be, will officiate at the marriage. The wedding will be a quiet home affair, only a few relatives and friends will be present.

The contracting parties are too well known in this section to need any words of eulogy from us.

The bride-to-be is one of Glasgow's most amiable ladies, being known for her varied accomplishments and high standard of Christian character, and many womanly graces.

The prospective groom is a well known and highly popular minister of the Christian church, in which capacity he has labored faithfully in South and Central Kentucky for the past fifteen years. Immediately after the marriage the parties will start for Louisville, en route for Mr. Williams' home at Montpelier [Adair County], and after a short stay may return to Glasgow, as Eld. Williams may engage in pastoral
work in Barren county.

The above announcement is from the Glasgow Republican, but we desire to add a few words in testimony of the high character of the prospective groom, as Adair is his native county, and where he has gained an enviable record from his youth up. A Christian gentleman, honored and respected, there is not a doubt but he will make a loving and faithful husband. Should he decide to leave us, expressions of regret would be heard from all points of the county. If he remains in Adair his intended bride will be happily received and made to feel that she is among a hospitable and home-like people.

JD Gee adds,
"The marriage license was issued in nearby Adair County, Ky., where Eld. Williams (1849-1923) resided. His first wife, the former Miss Clemmie J. Wheat, to whom he was married in 1870, died in the spring of 1903."
