    3. I will be posting extractions of several news articles and obituaries. Most do not have a newspaper name, many are undated. I am not related to many of these families. MISS NELDA SHUTTLESWORTH IS BRIDE OF GLENN E. TAYLOR Miss Nelda Shuttlesworth became the bride of Glenn E. Taylor at 8:30 on Saturday evening, August 14, in the Assembly of God church in Troup. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alton V. Shuttlesworth of Troup and the bridegroom is the son of Terrill Taylor, 426 W. Levee, Brownsville, and the late Mrs. Taylor. The Rev. Clyde E. Stone officiated at the double-ring service. The choir railing was entwined with smilax and candelabra holding lighted tapers were flanked by tall baskets of white gladioli. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white satin gown with fitted basque and lace yoke. The long fitted sleeves ended in points over the hands, and this full gathered skirt fell into a short train. Her headdress was a pearl and rhinestone tiara and it held her illusion fingertip veil. She carried a white Bible topped with a white orchid wreathed in carnations. ATTENDANTS Matron of honor was Mrs. William Dean of Brownsville and bridesmaids were Miss Wanda Shuttlesworth and Mrs. Henry E. Brister, both of Troup. Candlelighters were Miss Martha Shuttlesworth and Donny Shuttlesworth. Mrs. Dean wore an orchid taffeta gown patterned after the bridal gown and carried a nosegay of yellow daisies. Miss Shuttlesworth wore a nile green taffeta gown with pink carnations, and Mrs. Brister was in pale blue taffeta and carried pink carnations. Best man was Norval Taylor of Brownsville and groomsmen were Royce Hagood of Brownsville and Harry Shumway of Dallas. The reception was given in the youth hall of the church where the bride's table was laid with white linen damask and centered with a four-tiered wedding cake topped with a miniature bridal couple. RECEIVING Receiving the pair were her parents, his father, Norval Taylor and Mrs. William Dean. The bride's mother wore a navy blue and white linen dress with patent accessories and a corsage of white carnations. The bride is a graduate of the Troup High school. Mr. Taylor was graduated from the Brownsville High school, Southwestern Bible institute of Waxahachie, and Bob Jones university, Greenville, South Carolina. He served two years in Korea with the Army and has taught school in Brownsville.
