RECORD OF MARRIAGE"Aug. 7, William J. Rudge to Josephine Adams, by Rev. W. M. Bagley." From list of marriage records for year 1901 appearing in an installment of an ongoing series "When Many of Our Ancestors United in Bonds of Marriage" (4 Aug 1922 The Monroe Journal p. 6)
MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT: "WEDDINGS THREE. Six Popular Young People Embark on the Sea of Matrimony. August 7th, 1901 is a date which will long be remembered in at least three homes in this county. On that date the doors of those homes were thrown open and with open handed hospitality, with welcome unstinted the guests were received and merry jest and pleasant conversation went round well laden boards and in brilliantly lighted, flower-banked rooms. It was a wedding night and in those homes, surrounded by congratulating and admiring friends, standing before the ministers representing Him who in that early time of man's history, before sin or anything evil had fallen across man's pathway, established marriage and put upon it the seal of divine approval, six people entered into the estate of matrimony and took upon themselves its holy vows... Rudge-Adams. No more interesting social event has taken place in our city than was the marriage of Mr. W. J. Rudge and Miss Josephine Adams last evening. The residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Adams, on Washington street, was filled with friends of the contracting parties and that home presented a most attractive appearance and was in keeping with the welcome and hospitality always to be found in it. The decorations were palms, ferns and cut flowers. The prevailing color in the dining room was white and red. Promptly at the hour of seven the bridesmaids, Misses Kate Rudge and Pattie Adams, entered the parlor, the bride and groom following them. Mr. B.A. Horn was the best man. The marriage service was performed by Rev. W. M. Bagley, the beautiful ring service being used. The bride was attired in a handsome castor tailor made suit. Miss Rudge wore a dress of white organdie and Miss Adams wore pink organdie. After the marriage the guests were invited to the dining room where a very elegant supper was served. The guests present were, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Jerome, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Redwine, Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Stephenson, Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Belk, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Morrow, Mr. and Mrs. R. Redfearn, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Rudge, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Coble, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Blakenay, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Shannon, Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Houston, Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Bagley, Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Ashcraft, Mrs. Vann, Mrs. Elizabeth Houston, Mrs. Ellen Fitzgerald, Misses Bulus and Iva Bagby, Anna Blair, Fannie Stephens, Kate Rudge and May Blakeney, Messrs. B. A. Horn, Rufus Armfield, Ed Crow, H. McLarty, Bonner Stewart, Dr. B. C. Redfearn, Chas. Redfearn and Henry Belk. The presents were many and valuable. The groom is the manager of the W.J. Rudge Co. and is one of Monroe's most successful and popular young business men. The bride is a most accomplished and brilliant lady, who by her charming manners and genial disposition has won many friends. She is one of the most accomplished musicians in the city. She is a teacher of music in the Monroe graded schools. Mr. and Mrs. Rudge left soon after their marriage for Jackson Springs, where they will spend their honeymoon. May life for them be long and happy."(Miss Minnie Simpson's Paper Aug 1901)
Josephine Ethel ADAMS (RUDGE) was originally brought up as a Methodist (present on the 1900 roll of official members of the Central M. E. Church, South, Monroe, NC), she switched to the Presbyterian church after her marriage, but apparently was never happy with this decision, and later went back to the Central Methodist Episcopal Church. (Received by certificate 10-24-1915; Was dismissed [from First Presbyterian Church] to Central M. E. Church on 5-3-1931 according to a letter by Joyce J. Kelley, Office Administrator of the First Presbyterian Church of Monroe, NC.)
