The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: January 22, 1892 At the home of the brides brother at Williamson last week, Mr. Fred W. Stegar and Miss Bettie Reeves were united in marriage by Rev. S.R. England of this place. A few of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present. It was one of those happy old fashioned marriages where the bride and groom goes home with the congratulations of all when the ceremony is over, and proceeds at once in making home a charming place. Both are worthy young people, and deserve to do well in the world. Our best wishes for a long and happy life. (Transcribed 9/11/02 Lynn B.
