Beam-Parks

A wedding of much interest and a surprise took place at the home of the bride on Saturday night, March 25, at 8:45 where Miss Nannie Parks and Mr. James S. Beam, of Ellenboro, route 3, were joined in matrimony by the bride’s pastor, Rev. S.N. Watson. The only one present was Miss Ila Hamrick, of Spindale, and also her sister, Mrs. J.E. McMurry. The room was beautifully decorated with potted plants. The bride was dressed in white crepe de chene and white duchess satin and ancestress to match. The flowers were carnations. Mr. Beam is a highly respected farmer and was an ex-soldier, having served in the 30th division. We congratulate Mr. Beam for winning such a charming young bride. Their many friends wish them a long and happy life.
