Married
Carmichael –
Beard
On last night Hon. J.M. Carmichael of Ozark, took unto himself for a wife,
Miss Emma Beard, one of Coffee’s fairest flowers. To say they just suit, is but
a mild expression on our part to convey our idea of their happy union.
The groom is a leading citizen of the State, whose reputation as a lawyer and
gentleman is not limited to the confines of our common wealth. He has held
various prominent offices in our State; and no doubt be our next Circuit Judge.
His political life has been a continuous success, showing the hold he has on the
hearts of his countrymen. His life as a private citizen shines with no less
luster.
Miss Emma, his bride, is one of the most charming ladies we ever knew. Her
personal attractions have captured one of the most prominent men of the State,
and led him captive to her will. In her Mr. Carmichael will find a wife whose
heart pulsates with noble feeling and whose affections he might well be proud.
Her many good deeds and her kind actions have won her numbers of friends who
with great regret give her the parting hand to go with the one whom she has
given her heart. Miss Emma has gone, who will we find to fill her place? No one.
A vacuum has been created that can be filled by no one. In this marriage we must
say Coffee and Dale are more closely united. We feel proud to thus strengthen
our relationship with the grand old county of Dale.
Several intimate friends witnessed their marriage. As fine supper as we ever
saw, and indeed the occasion was a very enjoyable one. The couple left this
morning for Ozark followed by many good wishes. They were accompanied by S.N.
Rowe, with Miss Ella Law, and H.L. Martin, with Miss Maud Roberts.
A delightful time awaits the happy crowd at Ozark.
We wish the couple ever pleasure in life and that an unusual happy future
awaits their steps in life. –

The old boys were the same live and spirited souls they always were. True,
the finger of time has caused the wrinkle to appear upon their once youthful
cheeks, and the frost of age has been busy with the locks of some, yet there
appears in the eyes of all, the soul and spirit of the men, who braved death
and danger, in the valley around Richmond, at Manassas, Sharpsburg,
Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, and in more than
thirty other battles. The meeting though but thinly attended, was an
exceedingly pleasant one, and the conversations were of a character to
revive pleasant recollections, and to reunite us all in the sincerest
friendship.
There was a general expression of regret that so few of the boys were
present, and a hope at some future time we may all have the pleasure of
meeting in reunion, when the program shall be more elaborate, and better
calculated to promote the pleasure of all.
A pleasant feature of the occasion, was an elegant repast, prepared by Mrs.
W. R. Painter of the Transient House, which all present enjoyed, as old
veterans alone know how to enjoy a good dinner.
Mr. Jonas T. Bell, whose boys fell while members of the Co. "E" though
an
aged gentleman, rode twenty three miles from Geneva county, to meet the
comrades of his fallen sons.
T.B. Cannon Co. "G" and T.H. Woodall Co. "K" were also
present.
Lets have another reunion about next July when we can all be present.

Does anyone know if the building where the Pace Hotel was is still standing?
