WEDDING ANN'T - 7/29/1907 PRETTY HOME WEDDING At three o'clock Wednesday, July 24, at the residence of the bride's parents (Mr. & Mrs. Martin L. Thompson) quite an interesting wedding took place when Mr. John Vest led to the altar Miss Julia Thompson, the attractive daughter of our well known citizen, M. L. Thompson. The attendees were Misses Pearl Vest, Maggie Thompson, and Sallie Stinson, Messrs. Andrew Thompson, Lawrence Vest, and Tom Wiley, Rev. Jordan officiating in his usual impressive manner. The bride looked charming in a handsome blue silk gown, and carried white roses. After the wedding, the bridal party repaired to the dining room where an elegant supper was served. The menu and decorations reflected much credit to the ladies who assisted, and the entire party of seventy guests were sumptuously served. Quite a number of handsome and useful presents were received but time will not allow further comment on these. The bridal party left Thursday afternoon for Dublin where Mr. and Mrs. Vest and Maggie Thompson took the train for Lynchburg, returning the following Sunday. On Monday a reception was given in their honor at the home of the groom's father, Mr. Calvin Vest. Mr. and Mrs. Vest will reside in Vivian, WVa., and the good wishes of their many friends follow them to their new home.
