Smith, when their oldest daughter, Miss Willie Lee, became the bride of Mr. David Jaggers of Hillside, N.J. the rooms in the home were most attractively decorated with a profusion of yellow and white chrysanthemums, palms and brass and silver candelabra filled with bright candles, which shed a lovely radiance to the attractive scene.
Before the ceremony, Miss Daisy Pearl Smith, sister of the bride, accompanied by Miss Frances Jackson, cousin of the bride, sang most sweetly “O Promise Me.”
The only attendants were the four ushers, Ewing Smith, Frank Smith, William Walters and Frank Leonard of Hillside, N.J.
Little Misses Elizabeth White Smith and Carolina Smith preceded the bride as flower girls, carrying baskets of yellow roses and sweetly attired in white and yellow organdies.
The impressive service was performed by Rev. E.M. Snipes, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Oxford.
