William Scott, merchant, to Miss Mary Boyd; both of this
city
Spartanburg, Sept. 5 - Dr. William C. Gilliam and Miss Fannie
Jones Blake were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents last night. Their wedding was without a
doubt the prettiest home wedding ever celebrated in this city. Owing
to the ill health of the bride's mother, only the most intimate
friends of the couple were invited to be present.
As the
clock struck 9, Mr. Harold Doubleday, of Tryon, N.C., rendered a
delightful flute solo, whose sweet strains drifted into
Mendlessohn's wedding march, Mrs. Warren DuPre accompanying him on
the piano. In the meantime, ten bridesmaids, gowned in pink satin
and each bearing a pink holder, formed in line in the dining room,
at the first chord of the inspiring march, passed through the
sitting room into the parlor. They entered in the following order
and as each couple reached the center of the room they separated,
one going to the right, the other to the left of the bay window;
Misses Bessie Jones, of Edgefield and Carrie Speights, of
Greenville; Misses Margaret Cofield and Louise Henneman; Misses
Rhetta Leftwich and Eva Petty; Misses Kinie Duncan, of Union, and
Margaret Law; Misses Fay Twitty and Myra Whitney, of Tryon. Miss May
Lillie Blake, the maid of honor and sister of the bride, entered
next, along. She was gowned very daintily in white silk and carried
a bouquet of white lillies. The bride, upon whom all eyes were
turned, came next leaning on the arm of her father. She is a very
handsome woman and looked regal in her wedding robes. The groom met
her in the center of the room and together they walked to thebay
window, where Bishop Duncan stood. The scene was almost bewitching.
Soft pink lights from countless waxen tapers lent a brightness to
the scene that seemed a good omen.
Bishop Duncan pronounced
the ceremony assisted by Rev. W. W. Rogers. After congratulations
were extended a sumptous supper was served.
Miss Blake has a
multitude of friends here, for she possesses those womanly qualities
that endear her to young and old. She has been very active in
charity and church work and will be much missed.
Dr. Gilliam
is a native of Newberry. He graduated at Wofford college and at the
University of Virginia and then went to New York, where he graduated
in medicine. After spending several years there he went abroad where
he remained for five years. Returning home he settle in Ocala, Fla.,
where he now engages in the practice of his profession during the
winter. He spends his summers at Saluda, where he owns a beautiful
