The following account of the nuptials of two well known Galveston people will be read with interest by the people of this city. The wedding occurred in Tuskaloosa, Ala., on the evening of Thursday, December 21, with Rev. Walter Whitaker officiating.
Married, at the residence of Colonel and Mrs. John Glascock, on Thursday evening, December 21, 1893, by the Rev. Walter Whitaker, rector of Christ church, Mr. Harry Hunt Ramsom of Galveston, Tex., and Miss Annie Glascock Martin of the same city.
This was indeed a most tasteful and beautiful wedding. Under the brightest of surroundings, two loving hearts were forever made "to beat as one." By an early hour in the evening relatives and a few special friends of the bride and groom and of Colonel and Mrs. Glascock, the esteemed grandparents of the bride, had assembled to have a part in the joyous occasion. At 8:30 o'clock the bridal party entered the parlor, where their friends were eagerly awaiting their coming. In front came two little ones, whose sparkling faces and graceful and winning ways attracted attention. These were Master John Glascock Martin, the brother of the bride, and Miss Minnie Lou Davis, the bright little daughter of Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Davis of Athens, Ala.
The bride elect, radiant with loveliness, entered leaning upon the arm of her father. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. George G. Ransom of Birmingham, and the maid of honor was Miss Mary Bird Martin, a charming sister of the bride. It was indeed an interesting group that stood before the man of God, who in a most impressive manner, with the ceremony of the Protestant Episcopal church, tied those bonds that are never to be broken.
From the parlor all were ushered to a most sumptuous feast, where Mrs. Glascock and her accomplished daughters, Miss Minnie and Mrs. Davis, assisted by lady friends dispensed a graceful and elegant hospitality.
The beautiful bride is the daughter of Captain E. B. Martin and of his late wife, Miss Julia Glascock, both of whom are well and pleasantly remembered in Tuskaloosa. The groom is a finely educated and accomplished gentleman, and is now principal of a flourishing institute of learning in Galveston. The high esteem in which they are held was shown by many handsome presents and by warmly expressed wishes of present and absent friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ransom left immediately on a bridal tour to North Carolina, and Washington city, after which they will return to Galveston, their present and future home.
Among the tributes to the lovely bride were noticed the following lines from a gentleman, who was an attendant at her mother's marriage:
To Mrs. Annie Martin Ransom, upon Her Bridal Night:
O lovely daughter of a mother bright,
I wish thee joy upon thy bridal night,
May herald angels from the realms above,
Now greet thee with soft messages of love.
It was upon the very spot where now,
Thou stand'st, with beaming eye and queenly brow,
Thy mother stood upon her nuptial day,
And gave her hand and joyous heart away.
A manly man with joy stood by her side,
And fondly claimed her for his blushing bride;
Hope hung its rainbows o'er the gladsome scene,
And bathed earth' s pathways in celestial sheen.
Years in their swift and ceaseless flight are flown,
And charming bride and noble woman has gone,
But magic memory now brings back to me,
Birde of the then repeated now in thee.
