George Wharton and Bessie Naomi
(BARTON) HAMILTON married in 1910 and are my great-grandparents.
Naomi wrote in her memoirs that the wedding
was to be at 7 pm, but George missed his connecting train due to the heavy
snow, and was 5 hours late. Naomi said that she couldn't sit down
during all that time, so as not to wrinkle her wedding dress! George was
a Methodist minister with his first assignment being the church at Fairmount
GA. His records of weddings,etc, performed during 30 years of travels
throughout North Georgia are posted here.
