C.B. Parsons of the Baptist church, Oxford, who in an impressive manner pronounced the words which united them in holy wedlock.  Upwards of 50 guests were present, and after extending congratulations and best wishes refreshments were served and Mr. and Mrs. Smith immediately left for the O.&W. depot enroute for New York where they will spend a few days of their honeymoon.  Later they intend to begin housekeeping on the Walker farm, near the East Oxford Free Baptist church.  The bride and groom are highly respected young people and their many friends wish them a long and happy life.  The wedding presents were numerous and choice.  [Notation:  1897]
