On Thanksgiving afternoon Rev. w.
A. Grant united in marriage Mr.. Geo.
b. Lyme and Miss Matte Crockett. The
ceremony was performed at the home
OF the brides mother, Mrs. Celeste
Crockett, two miles below Hawesville.
and was witnessed by only few Of the
relatives Of the contracting parties.
Mr.. Lyme is one Of Kentucky's most
popular druggists and Is native OF
Henderson. He and his brother were
in the drug business in Hawesville a
few years ago. but five years ago they
removed to Crab Orchard. He is
most excellent and honored gentleman.
a Knight Templar and an Odd Fellow.
and is highly regarded wherever known.
for his integrity and uprightness. Miss
Crockett is the eldest daughter Of Mrs.
Celeste Crockett. and IL so popular with
her acquaintance that her removal
from the scene Of her life time friends
Is a personal bereavement. She Is a
plain. sensible Kentucky giri-just the
kind you like TO meet after all the fri
volties of the age are recounted. Both
of the parties are so well known and
liked that royal time was planned for
them with shoes and rice when they
came TO Hawesville that afternoon for
the train. but both are old hands at
thwarting such pleasures, so they had a
special permit for the train to stop at
Petri, where they got aboard. When
il reached Hawesville all hope Of seeing
them on the train had gone The bride
presented herself at tho car window,
but the groom-never. Thew proceed
ed on their journey 10 Crab Orchard,
where they will reside. Present at the
wedding were John A. Lyme. brother.
from Henderson. who Is well-known
among the newspaper fraternity and
who is now publisher Of the official A.
o. u W. paper OF State. The groom's
father, aged 50. and from Henderson,
was also present. and thereby hangs a
coincidence near akin to a romance.
The elder Lyme was one OF the victims
Of a distressing steamboat disaster OF
the early days. and this disaster occur
at a point near where the bride llv-
ell. In February. lsis. the new built
st ,amer Major Barbour, was sunk near
the Kentucky shore by the steamer
Paul Jones running into her. Five lives
were lost. Mr.. Lyme came near being
drowned in the disaster, and did lose
his bill Of drugs aboard. That his son
should more than 60 years later marry
a young lady who later came upon the
scene Of activity at almost the identical
spot, is regarded as a peculiar eoinci-
dence and stamps this popular groom as
almost child Of destiny. -Hswesville
