110 YEARS AGOThursday, July 9, 1910from the Mathews Journal

The Children’s Day picnic held at Bethel Church near Laban a few nights ago, was a success in some respects at least. An address given by Rev. J.A. Winn was very much enjoyed by all persons after which ice cream was plentifully served and about $22.00 was cleared.

Mr. Thaddeus Diggs and Miss Maydie Hudgins were quietly married at the home of the bride’s parents last Sunday morning. The bride is a strikingly handsome and attractive young lady of this place. The groom is also a highly esteemed young man of this place. The bride was handsomely attired in lavender silk, while the groom wore the conventional black. The happy pair will reside in Norfolk.
