Biggs-Fetner Wedding
Thursday afternoon at 6 o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs.Sylvester Biggs on Randolph street their daughter, Lillian
Irene, became the bride of Robert Earl Fetner of Hamlet. The home was
attractively decorated with potted plants, long leaf pine and chrysanthemums.
To the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Margaret
Biggs of Ellerbe, a cousin of the bride, Miss Rose Biggs, a sister, maid of
honor, entered and took her stand in front of the improvised altar of ferns and
potted plants. She wore a dainty ruffled dress of pink organdie and carried a
bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Then came the bride with her father, who gave
her in marriage. They were joined at the altar by the groom, who had entered
with his brother, Charles Fetner, who acted as best man.
Rev. R.L. Rotter of the Episcopal church and Rev. A.T. Young
of the Hamlet Presbyterian church officiated. The bride wore a going-away suit
of dark blue tricotine with accessories to match and wore a corsage of bride’s
roses. She is an attractive petite blond and young woman of marked personality
and very popular. Mr. Fetner is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Fetner of
Hamlet. He is chief petty officer in the navy and is stationed at Pensacola,
Fla. After the ceremony the young couple were showered with congratulations and
best wishes by their friends who were present and then all were ushered into
the dining room where a delectable dinner was served in three courses. Grape
fruit cocktail, salad course with accessories, hot coffee, frozen peaches with
cake. The color scheme in the dining room was yellow and green, the center
piece being three lovely baskets of vinias, tied with bows of tulle. Mr. and
Mrs. Fetner left on the evening train for Raleigh where they spent a few days,
returning to Rockingham, where they will be for a short while before going to
Pensacola, Fla.
The out-of-town guests for the marriage were Mrs. W.H.
Fetner, Miss Pansy Fetner, Mrs. Henry Fetner, Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Young, Mr. Clay
Gardner, Mr. Lloyd Hill and Miss Ethel Butt of Hamlet; Mr. Charles Fetner and

Pankey-Asbill (last
name sometimes spelled Asbil and sometimes Asbill…I don’t know which is
correct)
One of the sweetest and most unusual marriages and one of
interest to a wide circle of friend was that of Mr. Thurston Pankey and Miss
Nan Asbil Thursday, October 23. Mr. Pankey and Miss Asbil, accompanied by Mr.
Harry Webb asnd Miss Jennie Pratt McInnis drove to Candar. Getting Rev. R.S.
Arrowood they came to Old Mt. Carmel church, three miles west of Norman, and
were quietly united in the holy bonds matrimony by Rev. Arrowood.
We see many church weddings but none that are quite so
charming and odd as this particular one. They chose to be married at this
church because it is near the groom’s home and is the church his mother and
father were laid to rest.
The bride wore a beautiful go-away suit of dark blue
tricotine with hat, shoes, gloves to match. The groom also was dressed in an
unusually handsome blue serge suit.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.L. Asbill of
Capels Mills and is a noble young woman of the blonde type with an attractive
and winning personality. She has a host of friends throughout Montgomery, Moore
and Richmond counties.
Mr. Pankey is a quiet, intelligent young man and one who is
capable of making his way in the world and most successfully. He is just
starting out in life and his ambition is to be a man worth while in the world
and one like our country needs.
Immediately after the ceremony they went to the bride’s
home, after spending a while there Mr. Webb and Miss McInnis accompanied them
to Hamlet and they left on the 9 o’clock train for Atlanta, Ga.
Our sincere wishes are for their happiness, good luck and
success. That they may both be happy and that their happiness may increase with
the years is the prayer of their many friends.
