Johnson of Clinton, includes one which is quoted below: >From the Sampson Democrat and date-lined September 12, 1895, Newton Grove: “Mr. Robert M. West and Miss Flora Monk both of this place were united in the bonds of matrimony on Tuesday morning, September 10th. The marriage was solemnized in the Catholic Church here with impressive rites at the early hour of 5 A. M. when holy mass was said. . . . The bride and groom left immediately after the ceremony for Richmond, Virginia, where Mr. West becomes a medical student. The bride is the daughter of the late Dr. Jno. Monk. . . .*” A note of sadness is added by a second clipping appearing several pages later in the book and dated simply “Spring ’97.” “The death of Mrs. Flora Monk West, the aimable young wife of our good friend Mr. Robert West of Newton Grove and second daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Jno. C. Monk occurred Friday at Salisbury. . . .”
