They were accompanied by Mildred Null of Lake City, organist. During the cremoney 'Hearts and Flowers' was played softely on th violin by Frank Dorman, Jr.
The groomsmen were Vasco Turner, brother of the bride, Floyd Howell, Burdell Myrick of Chestnut, Illlinois and Bascomb Bullard. The four bridesmaids were Mrs. Bascom Bullard, Baldwin, sister of the bride, Mrs. Paul Tanner, Jacksonville, cousin of the bride, Mrs. John Geitgey, Glen St. Mary, and Miss Thelma McLeod.
The matron of honor, Mrs. Vesta Myrick of Chestnut, Illinois, sister of the bride entered alone. The two little flower girls Iris Turner and Reva Elliott were dressed in white organdies. The ring bearer was Joe Barber, the tiny son of the C. M. Barbers. He was dressed in long white satin trousers and satin blouse."
