Mr. Cornelius Hankins, a young artist of Richmond, and Miss Sophie Maud McGehee, of Bowling Green, Ky., were married in Grace Episcopal Church, Richmond, yesterday. A unique feature of the wedding was that six young girls in street dresses, and wearing Gainsborough hats, acted as ushers.
Her mother, Matilda Middleton, was the second wife of John Rush McGehee. She was born about 1844 in England and died October 13 1898 in Nashville TN. The death certificate says her body was removed to Richmond Virginia. At this time it is not known where Matilda is buried. Sophia's grand-parents on her mother's side Charles Middleton and Sophia Beckett Middleton are interred at Grub Hill Cemetery.
