Harris-Muscogee County GaArchives Marriages.....Annie Jeane McDowell - Joseph Hill Huff June 17 1903 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Carla Miles cmhistory@mchsi.com July 29, 2003, 11:05 pm The Talbotton New Era, June 25, 1903 The Talbotton New Era Thursday, June 25, 1903 Page 6 McDowell – Huff On June 17th at 5:30 p.m., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.Y. McDowell of Shiloh, was solemnized the marriage of their second daughter, Miss Annie Jeane to Mr. Joseph Hill Huff of Columbus. It was a quiet, though pretty home wedding. The rooms were beautifully decorated with cat flowers, potted ferns and palms. The bride and bridesmaid were exquisitely gowned in soft white mouseline, lace and ribbon, the bride carrying a bouquet of carnations and ferns, and made a pretty picture as with the groom they stood in the darkened parlor under a rose light. The bride’s going-away gown was of dark blue voile, white silk and lace. This is a genuine love-match which met with the sanction of both families. Rev. G.G.N. McDonell performed the ceremony, after which an elegant luncheon was served to the bridal party. The bridemaids were: Miss Susie Estelle Huff of Columbus, Miss Elizabeth Jackson MdDowell of Griffin, Miss Lora Alberta Cooke and Willie Eva Crawford of Shiloh. The bride is a young lady of rare attainments, beautiful, sweet in disposition, combining all the characteristics of true Christian womanhood. She is one of Shiloh’s fairest flowers; one of Georgia’s brightest jewels. As Miss McDowell, she was loved by all who knew her, a general favorite, not only in our little village, but in all the surrounding country. Any community is fortunate in having in its midst such a woman. Mr. Huff is an excellent young man of fine qualities, a noble Christian gentleman; and we feel sure that the luster of our jewel will not fade in his keeping. He has a splendid position as bookkeeper with Mr. L.A. Scarborough of Columbus. Mr. Huff has a lovely home luxuriously furnished and fitted with all modern conveniences on Rose Hill. It is said “God’s best gift to man is a good wife”, and Mr. Huff is fortunate in winning for himself this lovely woman. “Blessed is the bride the sun shines on”; if the day is typical then theirs will be a bright future. The happy couple left on the 7:30 p.m. train for their home in Columbus where a reception was tendered them. May the brightest flowers of happiness and prosperity be thickly strewn along their life’s path way. The many handsome presents of silver, cut glass, china and other articles too numerous to mention attested the high esteem entertained for the bride and groom.
