Hill & Jackson
Source: The Fairbury Gazette, September 24, 1898
On last Tuesday, September 20, at 8 o'clock p.m., at the home of the bride's mother in Alexandria, Mr. J.M. Jackson of this city and Miss Lillie Hill of Alexandria, were united in marriage. Rev. McLaughlin of that city officiating. About fifty guests witnessed the wedding ceremony, which was conducted in a most beautiful and impressive manner, after which the wedding party sat down to an elaborate banquet. The affair was a success in every particular--first in the arrangement of every detail, but last and more especially in the happy union of two such worthy young people. Mr. Jackson is the enterprising young business man who has made his north side grocery one of the popular business houses of the city, and as he has been signally successful thus far, there is every reason to believe that his future success is doubly assured by his happy selection of a helpmete. The bride is by no means a stranger in Fairbury, having frequentily visited here. She has a large circle of friends and admirers who attest to her sterling worth. They were the recipients of a large number of handsome and valuable presents. The announcement of the wedding came as a surprise to Fairbury, and it is not strange that the many young lady admirers of the groom should harbor a grievance against him for not showing proper consideration for home production in his selection of a life partner. But the fact that the city is to gain such an amiable and interesting addition to its society in the person of the now Mrs. Jackson, will probably go a long way toward alleviating their indignation. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson arrived home Wednesday, and are now receiving the congratulations of their friends, in which the GAZETTE heartily joins.
