The home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Cook, who live southeast of town (Greenwood, Clark County), was the occasion of a happy gathering Saturday evening, March 21, 1903, when their daughter, Letelsia, was united in marriage to George Fye by Rev. W. T. Hendren, in the presence of the bride's family and a large number of friends.

About eight thirty the bride and groom took their positions in the southeast corner of the parlor, the bride attended by Genivera Loft, the groom attended by Marner Cook, brother of the bride, where the words were spoken making the twain husband and wife. A season of congratulations and general sociability followed, while a dainty lunch for the bridal party and guests was prepared and served in the dining room.
