Virgil Wright has joined the "Benedicts," having gone to Anderson and returned with a new wife Saturday. Mrs. Wright was formerly Miss Murrill Pierce, of Alexandria. A crowd of their friends treated them to an old fashioned charivari Wednesday night. They will live with Mr. Wright's father for a time at least.

Located this announcement of my maternal great-grandparents wedding. Virgil Lee Wright (1894-1972) and Edna Muriel Pierce (1897-1968) were married on June 19, 1915. Edna was the daughter of William Francis Pierce and Clara A. Penisten.
Apparently, they took up housekeeping for a time with my 2nd-great grandfather, the John William Wright.
