Macklin, Harry and Nora Jenkins, Marriage Notice, 1896, Raleigh, NC

Harry Macklin and Dora Jenkins Marriage Notice 1896 Raleigh NC

At the A.M.E. Zion Church, November 22, 1896, Mr. Harry Macklin, or Norfolk, Va. and Miss Nora Jenkins, formerly of Edenton and now of Tarboro, were united in the bonds of matrimony by Rev. Atius Albertus Crooke. Tarboro society people greeted them with a large and admiring audience. Mrs. Macklin was one of those model young women without great advantages. There was much in her that our more favored ones should emulate – a higher life of rectitude. Miss Delia White played the wedding march.
