WEDDING. An interesting event of the week was the marriage of Mr. J. Melton Crews, age 22, son of Mr. Bryant Crews, who resides on the Little Okefenokee, to Mrs. Lydia Stone, a blushing bride of 63 years, who is the best known character of Charlton County, being the owner of some 17,000 acres in the Racepond section of the Okefinokee Swamp, an accumulation of her own honest toil and frugal habits. The ceremony was performed in the courtroom at Masonic Hall by H.G. Gibson, Ordinary before an audience of a hundred and fifty friends and well-wishers of the happy couple who showered upon them their hearty congratulations. The groom has been assisting with the care of the large interest of Miss Lydia's for the past year or so and proved his ability in taking care of her interest in such a splendid way and won the esteem and affection of the lady. The bride, it is stated, said that having laid by in store a plenty for rainy days intends to enjoy her remaining years with her husband as their desires prompt them, the income being sufficient, while the landed estate will be kept intact. A lease on a part of the timber the past week supplied some $2,000.00 for honeymoon expenses and a handsome Chevrolet Sedan purchased by the bride for that occasion brought them to the wedding place and more than happily on their way back to their home near Racepond. The Herald wishes them all the joys that life has in store for those that can and are able to enjoy it.
