[Newspaper wedding announcement]
Taking place at a quiet ceremony, with only a small group of intimate friends
present, the marriage of Miss Kathryn Louise Brown and Francis A. Squires II,
was solemnized Saturday at high noon with the Rev. J. C. Sims, minister of
the Riverside Baptist church officiating.
The bride's ensemble was created of Winona crepe and fashioned of the new
autumn brown in a three-piece mode. The blouse was of egg shell and
matched the slippers, gloves and bag. A hat of brown was a smart felt model
worn with the short face veil. A corsage of sweetheart roses combined with
tube roses completed the costume. There were no attendants.
A number of pre-nuptial parties complimented the bride who is popular in a
wide circle of friends. Mr. Squires has been in Miami 11 months, coming from
Tampa.
The bridal couple left immediately after the ceremony by motor car for Atlanta
where they will spend ten days with the bride's aunt, Mrs. E. R. Philip. Upon
their return they will reside in their new home on San Estaban ave., Coral
Gables.

Pensacola, Fla., on their wedding trip.

A wedding marked by its beauty and simplicity was solemnized on Saturday
morning last at Trinity Methodist church when Miss Alma Hortense Davis, of
Sumter, became the wife of James Glenn Nunnally, of Florence. Rev. C. C.
Herbert pastor of the bride, performed the impressive ring ceremony. A
number of relatives and friends assembled to witness the marriage. The
church presented a fitting scene with the ferns and tall baskets of calla lilies
banked about the altar. A quartette consisting of Mrs. J. R. Jones, Mrs. Duval
Williams, Messrs. John Hough and Frank Chandler rendered several beautiful
vocal selections. During the ceremony "The Bridal chorus" was softly sung.
At nine o'clock the bridal party arrived. First the ushers, Lawrence Vinson and
Andrew Davis, who stood on either side of the altar, then the maid of honor,
Evelyn Davis, sister of the bride, becomingly attired in light blue carrying an
arm bouquet of shasta daisies, then came the petite flower girl Joan McCoy,
dressed in pink ruffled organdie. The bride entered on the arm of her uncle,
Mr. A. P. Vinson and was given by him in marriage. She carried a bride's
bouquet of pink rosebuds and valley lilies. She was never more attractive
inher outfit of navy blue triple sheer crepe with white accessories. the groom
entered from the rear of the chancel attended by his best man, Mr. C. L.
Taylor, and joined the bride. Immediately following the ceremony, the bridal
party, near relatives and a few intimate friends repaired to the Chairmont
Hotel where a delightful breakfast was served amid the beautiful floral
decorations of pink and yellow snapdragons artistically arranged in the dining
room. The bride and the groom left for a trip to Asheville and other points of
interest in North Carolina. Upon their return they will reside in Florence
