THE HILL-sEARLE WEDDING.
Massachusetts Man Claims Southern
Girl for His Bride.
(Srpingae!d, Mass. Renublican !.

| On Thursday, December 18th. at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred A.
| Bassette, 80 Green Lane, occurred
the wedding Of Edward c. Searle. of
| Southampton, Mass, and Miss Lizelle
Hill, daughter of f. G. HILL Of Victo-
ria, Macon county, North Carolina.
Rev. Putnam Webber, OF North And
over, was the officiating clergyman.
Miss Hill came North eight years
ago and attended school at WESLEYAN
Academy, Wilbraham, where she
spent three years and was graduated
with highest honors, afterward grad
uating at Springfield Hospital Train
ing School for Nurses after three
years training. 1t was when she
was following her vocation Of trained
| nurse that the romance eliminating
in this happy union began.
Among those present from out of
town were Orlando C. Searle, the ia
ther, and the Misses II. Bessie and
Ethel j. Searle, sisters of the groom;
Miss Harriet c. Searle and Miss Adah
l.. Belden, all of Southampton; Mr..
and Mrs. S. A. Allen and their
daughters, the Misses Virgie e. and
Ethel l.. Allen, of Westfield, Mass;
| Mr.. and Mrs. Park w. Allen and Miss
| Margaret Louise, their daughter, also
| Of Westfield; Miss Helen Sheriff., of
Richmond, Mass, and Fred A. Hull
| Cguardian Of the bride and uncle of
the hostesss) and Mrs. Hull, of Dan
! bury, Conn.
Mr.. Searle is the owner Of the we'll
! known 300-acre Searle fruit and
! dairy farm at Southampton, where
: six generations Of Searles have been
| born, and lived there in succession.
Among his fruit trees are over 700
! fancy apple trees, the product OF
which is mostly shipped to foreign
countries.
There was a large and valuable
display Of wedding gifts, including
cut glass and china, fine silver, linen
and other table and household arti-
cles, pictures, etc, and a number of
gold coins Of generous size.
The young couple will be at home
after January 18th at Southampton,
! Mass.
The above will be read with great
interest by the many friends, in this
! part Of the country, Of Grundy Hill
and family. The home of the par
ents Of the bride was for years
. known far and wide for it's boundless
! hospitality, and it is hardly an exag-
! geration to say that thousands recall
the hospitable home in Cahsiers
: Valley and charming girls Of the
Hill family. Tourists came South to
visit the mountain sections of North
and South Carolina, they found the
, Hill home in the famous Cashiers
Valley, and the name of Hill carries
pleasant recollections for many.
1t was in this manner that Fred A.
Hull and wife met the Hill family,
I and they took a particular fancy to
Miss Lizelle. Securing the fathers
consent, Mr.. and Mrs. Hull took Miss
Lizelle to their home at Danbury,
Conn.,, eight years ago, giving her
all the advantages they would have
given daughter. In letter to a
friend Mr.. Hull refers to the happy
bride much as though she were his
child, and he and his good wife find
great happiness in the new happiness
OF the young lady in whom they rec
ognized real "gem Of the high
lands"
The Courier joins with a host of
other friends Of the family in ex-
tending hearty good wishes for long
life, peace, happiness and prosperity
for the young couple.
