YERGER-CLARK Wedding - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal June 21, 1935

One of the loveliest of June weddings was solemnized on the 18th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Clifton Clark, when they gave in marriage their daughter, Elise, to Mr. Andrew Learned Yerger 
of Mound.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, with Mrs. W. L. Bridges at the piano, the lovely strains of Victor Herbert's 
"Sweet Mystery of Life" was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Joe Edwards. This was followed by "Because." 
also by Mrs. Edwards.

"The Bridal Chorus" by Lohengrin announced the approach of the bride, who never looker lovelier as she 
descended the stairs. She was preceded by her maid of honor, Miss Dorothy Maxwell, gowned in blue lace 
with hat and slippers of blue. She carried a bouquet of pink Killarney roses which enchanted her 
natural beauty.

The bride, wearing an exquisite gown of white net and lace, embroidered in seed pearls carried a bouquet 
of bride roses and fern. She was a picture of Southern beauty as she was met at the foot of the stairs 
by her father, who led her to the flower banked altar and gave her into the keeping of the man of her choice.

The groom, accompanied by his brother, Mr. George S. Yerger, Jr., as best man, met his bride and they were 
united by the impressive ceremony of the Presbyterian Church, Dr. C. P. Colmery officiating.

At the conclusion of the service an informal reception was held; after which the bride, ascending the stairs, 
threw her bouquet in traditional fashion into the outstretched hands of Miss Eula Gilfoil.

The bride, in her going-away costume of navy blue crepe, with accessories to match, left with the groom 
on a bridal trip to New York, Washington and other points east.

The out-of-town guests attending the wedding were : Mrs. Joe Edwards, Pontotoc, Miss. ; Mrs. W. L. Bridges, 
Indianola, Miss. ; Dr. and Mrs. C. P. Colmery, Edwards, Miss. ; Mr. Robert Farr, Edwards, Miss. ;
