Wedding Wednesday

Newspapers.com, The Macon  Telegraph, Macon, Georgia, Friday, November 16, 1951, Page 20

 1951 wedding announcement for

Eva Henrietta Claxton
1923-2008

and

Lewis Edward Lindsey
1928-1999

There are a few things about this announcement that I particularly enjoy or find odd:

    -     You've got to love the headline:  "Kite Girl, Dublin Man Wed." Were those two never supposed to mix? Why was she the "girl" and he was the "man" when she was 5 years older than him?

    -    They used to freely print people's home address in the paper - "... the couple will live at 105 N. Church Street, Dublin."

    -    The actual date of the wedding is not included in the article at all.
