DAVIS - GRAY

Married on the evening of the 24th inst. at the residence of the Bride's mother, near DeSotoville, Choctaw County, Ala. Mr. WILLIAM C. DAVIS, of Hamilton, to Miss MAUDE GRAY, of DeSotoville.  In addition to our good wishes for this couple in last week's paper we wish to add a few more. While the fair bride is personally unknown to ye Editor, Mr. DAVIS, in our short acquaintance has impressed s most favorably as being one of "Nature's Noblemen," and our faith in his cleverness and ability leaves no room in which to doubt that in so vital a matter as this, he has shown more than usual tact, so we will take it for granted that the fair lady of his choice is all that his fond heart deems her. May life for them be one long sweet dream of love and peace. Trouble and cares will come to them - they do to all of us - but may love and firm and abiding faith in each other help them to bear the burdens of life. When old age comes on may he be able to say:   And still beloved till life grows cold, Will wander 'neath a genial sky And only know that we are old By counting happy years gone by. Old time who changes all below To wean men gently from the grave Hath brought us no increase of woe And leaves us all he ever gave. - (Hamilton News Press, July 25, 1895)
