In Society
One of the prettiest and happiest weddings that has occurred in Memphis was that of Miss Carrie E. Bassett and Mr. W.E. Barnes at Calvary Church at 5:30 o?clock last evening. It attracted a large number of relatives and friends of the couple and their respective families. While Prof. C.P. Winkler performed a favorite wedding march on the grand organ, the bridal party, excepting the groom, proceeded up the main aisle of the church to the altar, the following gentlemen as ushers leading: Messrs. H.A. Ramsey, Philip Yancey, C.R. Barbee and J.L. Thompson. Then came the charming and beautifully attired bride leaning upon the arm of her uncle, Mr. Robert Lockwood. The groom emerged from the vestry room to meet the bride at the altar, attended by Mr. W. G. Thomas as best man and preceded W.G. Thomas as best man and preceded by Rev. Drs. Dumbell and Davenport, who officiated in the marriage ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony the couple were driven to the depot and left for a tour of the West, followed by a great volume of the sincerest good wishes.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. Geroge T. Bassett, and is a young lady of many and pronounced charms, a reigning favorite in social circles. Mr. Barnes is a young man of excellent business standing and worth, possessing to a large degree those sturdy habits and recognized abilities which accomplish prosperity in his every undertaking.
