LEARNED-YERGER. A Brilliant Social Affair at Vicksburg On Wednesday
Two Noted Families United
The following taken from the Vicksburg Herald of yesterday will be read with interest by all our citizens to whom the happy groom is to well known, and to some of whom the elegant and radiant bride is not a stranger:
"On Nov. 17. 1897, by the Rev B.F. Maniere, Miss Elisabeth Pilcher Yerger of Vicksburg, to Mr. Andrew Brown Learned of Natchez, Miss.
Miss Yerger, among whose paternal ancestors will be remembered many of the brightest intellects of this State, is the daughter of the late George S. Yerger of Jackson, Miss., and cmtf utr of our popular young townsman, Geo. S. Yerger with the house of Lee Richardson & Co. The bride's mother, Miss Elizabeth Sizer, a beautiful and gentle character, was lineal descendant of the royal blood of France. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus F. Learned, one of the oldest and most elegant families of the South.
After the high noon ceremony (at which the beautiful woman absorbed the ever new interest which riostns in sweet sentiment about 'the bride') a number of relatives and closest friends enjoyed the most unique and dainty refreshments, served in unusual elegance.
On a large round table was a cover of snowy tatiu, edged with a deep fioocne of rich lace, in the centre of which rested an exquisite bride's cake, a triumph of artistic confection, surmounted by the silvered letters L. and Y., blended in a dainty monogram, and surrounding this was a delicious confusion of color and light, which only rare flowers and the soft glow of candelabra can lend to make a refreshing suggestion of joy and love. The welfare of the happy pair was quaffed in old wine and many blessings and sincere wishes attended them for the fulfillment of their happiest dreams, and ventured the hope that all their fancy-painted visions might pule beside the realities of a happy wedded life.
They were remembered in many choice gifts, and among them were some from Berlin and Rome.
The party left at 1 o'clock on The steamer St. Joseph for Natchez, where the bride and bridegroom will be tendered a brilliant reception by Mr. and Mrs R. F. Learned, and after a short stay at home they will make a tour of Mexico during the winter months.
the St. Joseph reached Natchez at about 6:30 yesterday morning, with the Initial party on board, who were, given a hearty reception, and who proceeded directly to the hospitable residence of Mr and Mrs Learned, the parents of the happy bridegroom.
