Brooks - Henson

A pretty home wedding took place at the Henson home Tuesday

night at 9:25 o’clock, in which Miss Lillie Henson and T. M. Brooks of San Antonio were the contracting parties, with Rev. J. M. Perry of the Methodist church officiating. Quite a number of relatives and friends of the young couple were present to witness the ceremony and to extend congratulations and best wishes upon the newly wed.

The bride, a handsome, petit young lady and one of Yoakum’s fairest flowers, is endowed with all those womanly characteristics which assures the man of her choice that he has indeed won a jewel to reign over his future home.

The groom, who is a son of J. T. Brooks, traveling passenger and freight agent for the Frisco out of San Antonio, is employed as brakeman on the Sap and is highly esteemed by his fellow workmen.

Mr. and Mrs. Brooks left for San Antonio to spend a ten-day honeymoon with relatives and friends of the groom, and will then return to Yoakum and make their home with Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Burkett.
