The order of entrance of the bridal party was somewhat novel, the brides maids, Misses Susie Move, Nan Branch, Nolia Gardner, Lizzie Ander son and Bessie Harnss, attired in gowns of white organdy and c?rry- ing boquets of brides roses, entered the side aisles, to the soul-inspiring strains of Mendelssohns wedding march, and proceeded up to the front of the church, thence around to the midd'e - aisle .along which thev took their position to await the br'ce After the bridesmaids reached their position the maid of honor, Miss Minnie Deans, entered followed by the bride, in a beautiful robe of white silk, resting on the arm of her uncle.

April 3rd 1884 and remained a faithful, consistent and worthy mem ber of the same until April 3rd 1892 when death served the bond and his soul took its flight into that eternity beyond. He filled the elective offices of Vice Grand and Noble Grand of his lodge and was its representative 10 the Grand Lodge of N. C, at its session at Fayetteville. The writer has heard him allude to his visit to the Grand Lodge and the pleasure and enjoyment he had at that meeting. It seemed to open' up to his mind greater fields and to' his conscientiousness greater purposes' of tne workings of Odd Fellowship. He had in himself the cordial virtues that make true Odd Fellowship in the beauty of its growth and the simplicity of its truth. He was fra ternal, he was great in the magnani-' ty of his heart, he was an honest man. His character had no stain or blot and his whole moral life was a fit example worthy of emulation. He had a just sense ol pride and strove under circumstances when "stouter bodies and stronger minds might have faltered and despaired, he still fought on and conquered. He was generous, he always did his part everywhere and under a'l circumstan ces and his own comfort was often times sacrificed to the convenience and comfort of some one else. Such a life speaks volumes and its influence will continue to be felt even when his; name and memory is forgotten. 1 le has gone from our lodge room, yet he has left us the memories of a name and life that will linger in oir hearts and no one will remember the name of Marcellus Pridgen with anything save tenderest memories and frater nal respect. , ( .
