THE LAMPASAS LEADER
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907
Birthday Is Wedding Day
The nuptials of Robert Hill Caldwell, of Austin, and Miss Kathryn Stokes, of Lampasas, occurred Sunday, Sept. 29th, at high noon at St. Mary's Episcopal church. This little stone church on Fourth street had been beautifully decorated for the occasion with autumn foliage, and the light coming through the stained glass windows cast a rosy glow over all.
About 200 invitations were issued, perhaps half to friends out of town, and the church was comfortably filled with Lampasas people.
As the hour for the ceremony drew nigh, Miss Edwards accompanied Mrs. L.R. Carpenter in a beautiful little song called "Crown of Love," and never did Mrs. Carpenter sing better. Then the strains gently blended into those of Mendelssohn's wedding march, the ushers, Mrssrs, Woody Browning, and Charles Jordan, stepped forward and untied the white silk ribbons which barred the aisle and the wedding party entered the church. First came Rev. T.F. Sessions with the groom. Following was the maid of honor, Miss Balla Greenwood, attended by the best man, Mr. Robert Duse, of Austin. Next came the bride leaning on the arm of her father, Mr. C.D. Stokes, who at the chancel steps gave her to the bridegroom. The they faced the minister, who in the beautiful ring ceremony, pronounced them husband and wife.
The bride wore her traveling suit which was a handsome golden brown pongee silk trimmed with many buttons and folds of velvet, and her hat, gloves and slippers were of the same shade. She carried cream roses.
The maid of honor wore an entire costume of mauve silk with hat to match, and she also carried flowers. Both gowns were exceedingly pretty and very becoming.
After the wedding a luncheon was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stokes to about thirty relatives. The bride and groom and young people were served in a room which was beautifully decorated with green and white, the high-backed chairs being adorned with ribbon in these colors.
As it was the bride's 18th birthday, the wedding cake had on it eighteen candles. When the cake was cut, Miss Irene Loyd, of Taylor, received the piece containing the ring, Mr. Duse secured the dime, and Miss Cook, of Georgia, a button. On the table was a magnificent bunch of carnations. The married people were seated at a table the decorations of which were bowls of red roses.
Miss Kathryn, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Stokes, is well and favorably known, having passed her entire life of eighteen years here. She was educated at St. Dominic's Villa, and supplemented the musical training received there by a course of study in Austin last year. She is considered by all to be excellent in violin.
Mr. Caldwell is a very successful salesman for the Busch and Geris Piano Co., of Austin, and very popular in Austin circles and is a young man of good habits.
The young couple left on the 1:15 train for Austin, accompanied by Miss Caldwell, who had been visiting here for some days.
