SPRUILL, W.T. and HILLIARD, Alice – (m. 1889)
Marriage Bells — Just as the soft shades of twilight were falling around the historic old town on Wednesday evening, the stillness was suddenly broken by the merry chimes of the bell as it rang out from the lofty steeple of old Grace church, upon the still moonlit night, giving the call to the multitude of friends of Mr. W.T. SPRUILL and Miss Alice HILLIARD, to gather and witness them, as happy a couple as ever bowed at Hymens altar, joined in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The groom is one of the most successful young farmers of the county and the bride one of the most attractive young ladies of the town and a daughter of our worthy Register of Deeds, Mr. J.P. HILLIARD.
The ceremony was performed at 6:30 o’clock by the Rector Rev. Luther EBORNE. The bride entered the church from the western door leaning upon the arm of her father. The groom entered from the eastern door attended by Mr. L.L. NEWBERRY and as the solemn wedding march drifted out upon the still moonlight night they marched up to the chancel where they weer, in the most solemn manner, pronounced man and wife. The bride was attired in a beautiful costume of blue silk.
Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple, accompanied by a number of friends, left for the home of the groom at Lee’s Mills where a reception was given.
The BEACON extends to the happy couple congratulations and best wishes for a long and prosperous life.
