[Article in Dalton Argus, 1903]

"Interesting Marriage Becomes Known"

   "Mrs. Crawford, of Morganton, Ga.,  visited friends in the city this week enroute to Murray county for a visit to her mother and other relatives.  

   "Mrs. Crawford is pleasantly remembered here as Miss Ethel Russell and the news of her marriage to Mr. Crawford, which occurred recently at the college in Morganton, where both were attending school, a Gretna Green affair, will interest a wide circle of friends here."
