The members will furnish the framing timber, and the contractor will do the rest, including painting. Any person desiring further particulars, should apply to Rev. M.W. BOYLES, pastor, or Dr. J.M. ROTHROCK, chairman of the building committee.

COGGINS, L.M. and HARRIS, Louella (m. 1890)

Posted on by

Mr. L.M. COGGINS, of Concord, and Miss Louella HARRIS were married on Christmas eve at the residence of Mr. Geo. W. HARRIS, the bride’s father.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. M.W. BOYLES, in the presence of a small company of invited guests, one of whom the editor of the Dispatch was fortunate enough to be.  After congratulations came supper, and it was a good one too.  Mr. and Mrs. COGGINS went to Concord on the midnight train.  There is no dissent from the opinion that our young friends are a pair well matched.
