Page 5 Matrimonial Matters
The ceremony that united Prof. E. B. Stover, of Knoxville, and Miss Mattie Dunlap Hopper, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George D. Hopper, at 10:30 on the 22d, was a very impressive one, Rev. S. M. Rankin in beautiful language telling of the solemnity of the vows and of the happiness that comes to those who truly love, in the marriage state. Preceding the couple to the parlors came Mr. Rouse, of Nashville, and W. H. Hopper, Alfred A. Higgins and W. O. Hopper. The ceremony over congratulations were showered on the young couple and then they and the guests enjoyed a royal breakfast of substantials, which closed with cake and ices. A drive to the depot followed, many of the brides friends accompanying them thither and fairly covering them with showers of rice as they took the train for their Knoxville home. The groom is the principal of the Knoxville High School and the two met at Peabody Institute where they were taking a normal course. Cupid soon shot his darts through both their hearts. Mr. Stover followed his charmer to Kentucky and after repeated visits, the sequel is told above. The bride was attired in a neat fitting blue cloth, tailor-made suit with a jaunty hat to match and her beauty was never more apparent or pronounced. She was a lovely bride and being a sensible, highly educated girl will make a wife like the one spoken of in Proverbs, that will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She was the recipient of many costly presents, including a handsome organ from her aunt for whom she was named, Mrs. Mattie D. Withers.

STOVER - Mrs. E. B. Stover, who was Miss Mattie Dunlap Hopper, died at the house of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George D. Hopper, at 10 A. M. Saturday, of a complication of diseases. She was taken ill in April but grew stronger and gave promise of recovery, but in June she had another spell from which she never entirely recovered. A month or so ago she grew worse and her doctors pronounced her case malarial fever. Complications set up and for the past two weeks she had lingered between life and death. Her death is a peculiarly sad one, being a bride of but one year. Young, light hearted and happy, she made those with whom she came in contact feel better by her presence and inspired them for good. Early in life she joined the Presbyterian church and had since been a devout member. On Aug. 22, of last year, she was married to Mr. Edwin B. Stover, now principal in a Knoxville high school, and they lived as happily as a couple ever did, but death cut short the honeymoon and now the husband is left crushed by his loss. He arrived Tuesday night and scarcely left her bedside till the end came. Mrs. Stover was the idol of her parents and they like the broken-hearted husband, have the sympathy of all in their dark hour. After funeral services at Mr. Hopper's Sunday afternoon by Eld. Joseph Ballou and Rev. S. M. Rankin, the longest procession in years followed the remains to Buffalo cemetery, where they were interred.
