The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, August 9, 1895 A Happy Marriage Mr. C.L. Golden of Atlanta and Miss Melissa Whatley of Meansville were happily married at the home of the bride’s father, Mr. S.J. Whatley on Tuesday evening last at seven o’clock and boarded the train for Atlanta, their future home Wednesday morning. Mr. Golden is one of Atlanta’s best business men who has resided there for a number of years. He is a brother of Rev. E.Z.F. Golden, who is known throughout the state. The bride, Miss Melissa, is one of the most attractive and industrious ladies we know of. She is a member of the Meansville Baptist church also a member of one of the most respectable families and a genuine Christian. We wish the parties all the prosperity, joy and happiness possible that could be wished by a true friend and may they live a Christian life and spend eternity in heaven. - Lifsey, Ga., Aug. 7, 1895 (Transcribed 11/08/02 Lynn Cunningham Note: 1880 Census Place: District 551, Pike, Georgia Source: FHL Film 1254161 National Archives Film T9-0161 Page 46A Samuel J.
