ZOLLICOFFER, D.B. and JOYNER, Nannie B. – (m. 1879)

The Wedding — At half past seven on Thursday last the residence of Mrs. Eva DAVIS was thronged with people to escort to the Methodist church Mr. D.B. ZOLLICOFFER and Miss Nannie B. JOYNER who were to be married at 8 o’clock. On arriving at the church, the waiters walked up the two aisles to the strains of a beautiful march played on the organ; and after they were arranged around the pulpit like groups of flowers, the groom came in with Mrs. DAVIS on his arm and was shortly after followed by Mr. H.J. POPE and the bride. She was beautifully and tastefully dressed in white cashmere and satin, with very long full train, and loopings of clematis flowers on the skirt. Pearls ornamented her face and neck. A handsome wall fastened with orange flowers, hung from her brow to the full length of her train enveloping her and reminding one of an “angel in a cloud.”

Mrs. DAVIS wore black silk with velvet and satin trimmings, cameo jewelry.
The waiters were Mr. A.C. ZOLLICOFFER and Miss Tempe JOYNER with combination suit of white bunting and silk, diamonds. Mr. A. JOYNER and Miss Grace MOSELEY dressed in ashes of roses, bunting silk trimmings, pearls and gold.

Mr. J.O. BURTON and Miss Josie NICHOLLS, white tarlatan and blue silk dress, cameo ornaments.

Mr. J.H. GOOCH and Miss Marla LONG, navy blue silk of light blue cashmere and silk, pearls.

N.M. LOCKHART and Miss Mamie SHIELDS, white tarlatan, light blue silk and point lace, pearls.

Mr. J.T. POPE and Miss Agnes SMALLWOOD, bottle green silk and gold ornaments.

R.S. HALL and Miss Sallie WHITFIELD, white silk grenadine turquoise and pearls.

Mr. J.T. GOOCH and Miss Bettie WHITFIELD, ecru bunting blue silk, trimming and gold ornaments.

J.M. FOOTE and Miss Laura POWERS, cream colored bunting, blue silk trimmings, cameo jewelry.

A.L. STAINBECK and Miss Sadie MELLHENNY, seal brown cashmere threaded with gold turquoise ornaments.

W.R. SMITH, and Miss Lizzie CAMPBELL, garnet cashmere and coral ornaments.

J.R. WEEKS and Miss Florence SIMMONS, apple green tarlatan, gold ornaments.

L.M. LONG and Miss Emma PARKER, white bunting, silk trimmings, coral jewelry.

L.A. FARINHOLT and Miss Emma LYNCH, stone colored cashmere, gold ornaments.

W.L. LONG and Miss Lizzie SMITH, white alpaca, silk trimmings, coral ornaments.

The descriptions of the dress refer only to the ladies as we had something better to do than writing about the men.

After the impressive marriage ceremony was concluded all returned to Mrs. DAVIS‘ and danced, drank wine, &c., and had a splendid time until late and the wedding was over.

In drinking the numerous toasts that were pledged to her, the bride drank from a glass which had been in the family for more than a hundred years and which had been used for the same purpose by every bride on the maternal side of the family for a century.

Our best wishes go with the young bride and groom down life’s journey.

HARRISON, H.S. and GARRETT, Mamie S. (m. 1879)

MARRIED – At St. Clement church in Ringwood, Feb. 12th, by Rev. A.S. SMITH, Mr. H.S. HARRISON and Miss Mamie S. GARRETT.  The young couple who linked their destinies together, have today realized the fulfillment of vows plighted in the distant past, throughout the varying vicissitudes of life, they have remained true to each other.  The acme of their happiness they have at last reached, we can only say to them, that our earnest wish is that the sun of prosperity and happiness may scatter all clouds of adversity or sorrow that may overcast them. As you glide smoothly over the placid waters of the ever onward stream of time, may  your voyage be undisturbed by a single wave of trouble; may birds sing their sweetest songs along the shores as you pass; may the pleasant dews of heaven descend upon your hands, may the softest zephyrs fan your cheeks; and may the verdant banks be thronged with the kinda and loving friends, tossing to you as you pass the golden apples of unalloyed happiness and perpetual prosperity, may you be long spared and your beams cloudless and rosy to the last. — J.M.W.

Excerpted from the Onslow County Items column:

Only one marriage couple have been made happy the past week.  That of Mr. P.D. SMITH aged 62 yrs. and Miss Julia, daughter of Mr. J.K. HEWETT – usually called Swamp Sam – from his large size and peculiar good disposition, aged 14 years. Rather too much difference in age one would think.
