marriage to Captain Richard Williams, United States Army, and a son of Bishop
Williams of Washington. The ceremony was witnessed by only the two immediate
families and was performed by Dr. Walter Russell Bowie, assisted by the Rev.
Henry Bachelor, who has just returned from overseas service. The groom’s best
man was the Rev. Churchill Gibson Jr. of Lexington, a son of the late Bishop
Gibson of Richmond. Although a quiet affair, the marriage is of much interest
to fashionable society all over Virginia, and Washington. Captain Williams who
has recently returned to this country after active service in France, was
stationed at Camp Lee with the 80th Division for a number of months.
