EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
SAMMONS-KING
Beauty and dignity characterized
the marriage of Miss Nell King and
Robert Lee Sammons, of Windom,
Minn., and Washington, D. C„ which
was solemnized Monday afternoon,
April 29th, at four-thirty o’clock at
the Blakely Baptist Church. The Rev.
Spencer B. King, father of the bride
and pastor of the church, perform
ed the impressive ring ceremony in
the presence of a large gathering of
friends and relatives.
Beautiful spring flowers, car
rying out a motif of pink,
blue and white, were used
throughout the church. Stately
pines formed an artistic background
for large baskets of pink and white
roses, and baskets of mixed spring
flowers were placed at intervals
around the base of the rostrum.
White tapers in cathedral candelabra
shed a soft glow throughout the
ceremony. Sprays of colorful flow
ers were attached to the family pews
with bows of tulle.
Prior to and during the service, a
lovely program of nuptial music was
rendered by Miss Barbara Hartley,
of Tennille, Georgia, a college friend
of the bride, and Mr. Robert Guy,
of Atlanta. Miss Hartley played
softly “To a Wild Rose,” by Mac-
Dowell, during the ceremony and Mr.
Guy sang “At Dawning” and “Be
cause”. At the first strains of the
wedding march, the ushers entered
and took their places at the altar.
They were Leo Berndt, of Washing
ton, D. C., Denzel Payne, of Wash
ington, D. C., Billy Munday, Jr., of
Jonesboro Ga., and Bernard King,
brother of the bride, of Pelham, Ga.
Miss Alice Futrelle, of Savannah
and Atlanta, and Miss Sarah King,
sister of the bride, were bridesmaids.
They wore floor-length gowns of
pink printed mousseline de soie with
very full skirts. These were made
princess style, having scalloped neck
lines. Their picture hats were of
natural horse-hair braid with wide
pink velvet ribbons extending to the
waist-line in the back. Their arm
bouquets were of garden flowers.
Miss Madge King, of Norman Park,
was her sister’s maid of honor. Her
gown of yellow silk organdy was
I made with large sleeves fitted at the
wrist, the high neck line having tiny
1 pearl buttons extending from the
! small rounded collar to the waist
■ line. The full gored skirt was of
floor length and her small hat was
made of flowers. She carried an arm
I bouquet of garden flowers, matching
\ her gown in color.
The bride entered with her fath
' er and was met at the altar by the
' groom and his brother, Laurence
i Sammons, of Washington, D. C., who
acted as best man.
White printed mousseline de soie,
made with a fitted basque waist and
a very full skirt, and worn over a
satin and georgette slip, formed the
i gown of the bride. Her dress featur
ed a sweetheart neckline and elbow
length sleeves. With this, she wore
gloves embroidered in seed pearls
I and her finger-tip veil of white illu
j sion tulle, was held to her hair by
I a beaded Juliette cap. She carried
a white satin bound testament,
showered with lilies-of-the-valley,
which belonged to her father, and
her only ornaments were her mother’s
cameo pin, an heirloom in the family,
and a lovely gold watch, a gift from
the groom.
The bride’s mother wore an after
i noon gown of powder blue crepe and
her corsage was of sweet peas. Miss
Barbara Hartley chose for this oc

corsage of roses.

cus, Georgia, and her paternal grand- j
parents were the late Mr. and Mrs.,
James H. King, of Rome, Georgia. I
Both of her grandfathers were Con-I
federate veterans.
Mr. Sammons is the eldest son ofi
Mrs. J. L. Sammons, of Windom,
Minn., and the late J. L. Sammons, ;
who before his death, was one of the I
most prominent attorneys of his I
state. The maternal grandparents |
of Mr. Sammons were the late Mr.
and Mrs. E. A. Englin, of Sweden,
and later of Grand Rapids, Minn. On i

Washington.
Immediately following the /Wed
ding, the parents of the bride enter
tained the wedding personnel and
out-of-town guests at a reception in
their home. The house was beauti
fully decorated with lovely roses
and sweet peas. Soft music was
rendered by Miss Hartley and at
tractive trays of nuts and candies
were passed by Misses Dorothy King
and Ellen King Munday, both wear
ing lovely blue evening gowns. The
I cream and cake carried out an at

table was overlaid with a handsome
lace cloth and a lovely three-tier
wedding cake, exquisitely embossed
in white rosebuds and lilies-of-the
valley, formed the central decoration.
Four silver candle holders held
white tapers tied with tulle.
