nine months during which time she

to add to the comfort of their loved

them to our heavenly Father who
doeth all things well, believing her
tired, suffering body is at rest, and
she already beholds that lovely

EfYn, eneaf.

The NJ. E. Church, at Temperance
Vile, was the scene of a pretty we'd
ding on June 25th, the contracting
parties being Miss Mollie Gillespie
and Mr.. Colmore Byrd, both OF Tenn
peranceville, Va. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion. Gates of evergreen, tied with
white satin ribbon spanned the CEN
tire aisle, through which the bridal
party passed. The pulpit and ros'
tru1n were covered with a profusion
of potted plants, and the altar rail
twined with asparagus and water
lilies. A beautiful marriage cere-
mony was impressively performed by
Rev. A Judson Reamy. Miss Bessie
Pitts, of Onancock, presided at the
organ, and rendered Mendelssohn's
wedding march as the bridal party
entered the church, and the march
from Lohengrin as they were leaving.
During the ceremony she performed
Memberships "Meditatiou" very
softly. The bride wore a light cloth
travelling costume trimmed in velvet
and chiffon, with hat and gloves to
match, and was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Alice Gillespie as maid OF
honor, who was similarly attired.
Little Misses Eunice Matthews, cous-
in of the groom, and Lois Gillespie,
niece of the bride, acted as flower
girls. The groom's brother, DR.. Os-
car Byrd, of Norfolk, Va, was best
man. The bridesmaids were Miss
Lille Miles. of Atlantic, and Miss
May Matthews, of Temperanceville.
Messrs. Harry Pruitt and Max
Broughton were ushers. After the
ceremony the bridal party was en-
tertained at lunch at the home of Mr..
Albert Gillespie, father of the bride.
The happy couple amid storm
of rice, old shoes, and good wishes,
took the train for Old Point, thence
to Washington and other cities.
They were the recipients of many
useful and beautiful presents. May
heavens richest blessings attend
them. GUEST.

Deaths.

Irs. Mary A. Fowler, relict of the
late John NJ. Fowler, ard mother of
Mr. John u. Fowler, merchant at
Tasley Station, died last Saturday
night at Belle Haven, aged 70 years.
She was very estimable lady and
her many relatives and friends part
with her with regret, even at her
ripe old age.
Rev. j. w. A. Elliott died on Mon
day last, at the residence of his son
in-law, Mr.. ]. E. Mock, and was bur-
led at Oak Grove Church, on Tuesday
afternoon. He had continuously re
sided in Locustmount for many
years, and was one of the oldest and
best known citizens Of the county.
In his capacity of local preacher, he
was Familiarity referred to as the
MARRYING Parson,'' having per-
formed the rites of marriage for
three or four generations, and in
many instances consecutively in the
same family. He was a man of con
siderable business enterprise, and
we'll known mechanical ingenuity.
For most of his life he was success
full merchant, and during the war
made considerable money in cotton
speculation, which he subsequently,
unfortunately lost during the sudden
fall of the market in 1866. He was
the well known inventor and pro-
prietor of the Elliott pillow, indispen-
sible to the farmer in its day, and
which was largely used not only on
the Eastern Shore, but in many Sec
tons of other States. He was also
the inventor of other agricultural
implements, more or less popular in
their day.
He was gentleman of we'll marked
antiquarian tastes. and remarkable
memory; and it is safe to say that
during his long life he accumulated
and retained more historical knowl
edge of Eastern Shore families and
local events than any citizen of the
county. Readers of the ENTERPRISE
some years ago will remember the
series of personal recollections he
contributed to these columns over
the non de plume of "a Septuagenar-
ian,n embodying many interesting
recollections of events, and family
incidents which were eagerly read
by descendants of the families alluded
to in all parts of the country. He
had already exceeded the three score
and ten limit of his life when he be
came the victim of a cancer, from
which he had suffered for several
months, and which was the ultimate
cause of his death. His widow, two
children and numerous grandchild
rem and great-grandchildren survive
him. His married life had exceeded
period of over sixty years, his gol-
den wedding having been celebrated
more than ten years ago by large
gathering of devoted friends and rel
atives. He was kind-hearted gen.
tleman, a consistent christian, and
enjoyed the confidence and respect
of all who knew him.
