Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch. !
PALMYRA. VA, Dec. 2, 1885.
AS early as 0 O'Clock this morning
the Methodist church here was well
filled--a result of the interest which
centred in marriage ceremony in which
the contracting parties were Mr. Frank
I. Shepherd, Of Houston, Texas, and
Miss Nellie Blanche Gray, the accom-
plished daughter Of Hon. A. A. Gray.
After the very graceful performance
Of the marriage ceremony by DR.. G. II.
Snead, of the Baptist Church, the
youthful and happy pair left for Texas
ria New York and Niagara. The costly
and beautiful souvenir placed in the
hands Of the officiating clergyman by
the lucky groom is an indication not
only of his good taste but Of his proud
appreciation Of the sparkling gem he
had just plucked from the crown of
Palmyra's unsurpassed daughters.
