groom, who was also dressed in a
navy blue crepe dress.

Williams and Mrs. Williford Turner
presided at the table. After the re
ception, the bridal couple left for a
wedding trip. Upon their return, they
will be at home in Edenton.

ent for the wedding were Mr. and
Mrs. John Henry Brooks, Misses
Eleanor and Sarah Brooks, Mrs.
James Brooks, and Mr. and Mrs. J.
