Westbrooks-Woolf

Last Friday evening at eight o'clock in the city of Junction, Dan Westbrook and Miss Hallie Woolf were quietly married at the parsonage of a resident minister. The happy couple will make their home in Menard for the present. Miss Hallie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Woolf formerly of Menard and Dan is the son of our friend Bud.

Reports had this young couple married three different times before they really had decided to do so and in fact we had their obituary all written up and it was an exceedingly nice one as they deserve, but Dan told us that he would let us know when it really happened. He didn't but Mrs. Woolf did, so we are announcing that the expected has really happened. The many friends of this popular young couple in this and adjoining counties extend their congratulations.

Tuberville-Holland

On June the first at high noon at the home of the bride, Mr. V. W. Turberville and Miss Mary E. Holland were married, the Rev. Richard Mercer reading the Episcopal marriage service including the ring ceremony. The wedding march was played by Miss Reid of Junction. Only the intimate friends of both families were present. The groom is a ranchman at Llano and is a man of gentlemanly appearance and education and has business interest in several parts of the state. The bride is a lady of wide acquaintance, well and favorably known in Menard, Kimble and Sutton counties, very popular and talented in many ways, making friends and binding them to her as with steel. They will make their home at Llano. May their love to each other be as strong as cedar on earth and their prosperity successful as a palm in paradise.

Delong-Goldwire

County Commissioner James H. DeLong of Christoval, put one over his friends and the press by quietly stealing away Sunday and leading Miss Lydia Goldwire, also of Christoval, to Hymen’s alter.

The happy event took place at the home of the bride’s mother, the Rev. A. J. Barton, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Texas, speaking the words that linked the lives of Commissioner DeLong and Miss Goldwire together until death them do part.

Both the groom and the bride have a host of friends in San Angelo and Tom Green county, whose best wishes go with them as they journey down the road of connubial bliss.--San Angelo Weekly Standard.

Mrs. DeLong is well known in Menard, having acted as governess for two years on the G. F. Strickland ranch and while here made many warm friends who join in extending congratulations.

Callan-White

Friday, Houston Callan and Miss Nellie White announced to the public that they were married folks and had been since July 8th when Houston and Miss White made a trip to San Angelo and were married by a preacher at that place. They certainly slipped one over on their friends and proved that a woman can keep a secret if she wants to. Miss White is one of Menard's most popular society girls while Houston is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Callan. We extend congratulations and wish them every happiness in their wedded life. That is, we wish them that now, but we are going to change our mind if Houston doesn't come in and subscribe for the great family weekly. We promise them that they will find all sorts of good advice therein.
