Fayetteville Democrat
Thursday, April 11, 1901
Uncle John P. Moore, age 65, and Mrs. Mary Hornbuckle, age 55, were married at the C.P. Church at 10 a.m. Thursday. The bride came down from her home at Springdale on the Cannon Ball and was met at the depot by the groom, whose placid smile indicated that his cup of joy was full to the brim. His face is always genial but it wore an extra hue on this “memorial” occasion. It was easy to divine that he had drawn the first prize in the Louisiana lottery or was on the threshold of matrimony. For ten long years he has been “treading the wine press” alone and his many friends rejoice with him on the assurance that the balance of his days are to be one grand, sweet song. This match was not accidental, spasmodic or love at first sight. It was the result of deliberation by grown up, sensible people, who knew what they wanted and how to procure it. It might be said to have been a premeditated affair. Dressed in a black Prince Albert, Uncle John looked to be about 25, and the bride several years his junior. The ceremony was performed at the C.P. Church, Rev. Kelly officiating. After receiving congratulations the bridal party repaired to the residence of Sheriff Rollins, where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The happy couple went out to Uncle John’s plantation, a few miles northwest of the city, this afternoon where they will spend their honeymoon.
