Williams---Stiff
The North Georgia Baptist, 1901
A romantic wedding occurred
at the parsonage of St. Paul's Church on East Fair Street this morning at
10 o'clock, in which H.C. Williams of Cumming was united in marriage to Mrs.
B.M. Stiff of this city. Mr. Williams has been surveyor of Forsyth County
for 13 years and, in spite of his three score years, is as hale and erect
as when he marched to the altar with his first bride 30 years ago.
Last summer Mr. Williams
walked into the store of Captain Cook in Gwinnett County to make some purchases.
When he had finished, the storekeeper suggested that he buy a dress for his
wife. He replied that his wife had been dead for several years, but that
if Captain Cook would procure him another one he would marry her. Captain
Cook took up the matter seriously and wrote to Mrs. Stiff that night.
The letter arrived in due
time and was answered. Then other letters were exchanged, and an engagement
was the result. Mr. Williams did not meet his bride until last evening.
"I courted my first wife
for several months," said the groom this morning, "And then found out that
after I had married that I knew nothing on earth about her, so I thought
I would not waste so much time at my second courtship." The couple left this
afternoon for their future home near Cumming.
Mrs. Williams appears to
be several years the junior of her husband.---The Atlanta Journal. Thursday,
May 9.
