A marriage of interest to a host of friends and relatives throughout Georgia and North Carolina was that of Mrs. Mary Siler Love of Lavonia and Mr. W.L. Higdon of Franklin, N.C., which was quietly solemnized Thursday evening at 6 o’clock in the study of the First Baptist Church, Dr. Charles W. Daniel performing the ceremony.
Only a small group of close relatives witnessed the marriage. Miss Ella Siler was her sister’s maid of honor, and Mr. T.B. Higdon, brother of the groom, acted as best man.
The lovely bride was smartly gowned in a three-piece tailleur of dark brown charmeen. Her hat was a small, close-fitting model of tan straw. Completing the costume was a beige fox fur and a corsage bouquet of Ophelia rosebuds and valley lilies.
Following the ceremony the party was entertained at dinner at the Piedmont Driving Club by Mr. T.B. Higdon, brother of the groom. During the evening Mr. and Mrs. Higdon left for a short wedding journey, after which they will make their home in Franklin.
