(1911)

   A pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Greene in the western part of the town Tuesday evening, October 10, when Mrs. Greene's daughter, Ethel L. Monell, was united in marriage to Benton Elliott of Greene.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. Lee Whiteman of Greene.

   The bride was gowned in blue silk trimmed with white lace and she carried a bouquet of white carnations.  The best man was Floyd Davidson of North Fenton.  Grace Monell, little niece of the bride was flower girl, and strewed flowers in the path of the bride and groom as they entered the room to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. Eleanor Lawrence of Gulf Summit.  The decorations in the dining room and the table were blue and white.

   Mr. and Mrs. Elliott left for a wedding trip to Lestershire and Waverly.  

   Those present from out of town were, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott and children, Harry and Mabel, Doris and Helen; Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Ingraham of Greene; Arthur Monell and daughter Grace, Mrs. L. E. Moore and sons Merrit and Carl of Oxford.
