  • Notes 
    • A newspaper clipping of the double wedding of Zach Hagedorn and Jennie Heyman, and Phillip Hagedorn and Lula Heyman, solemnized on Wednesday evening, October 31, 1883, by the Rabbi S. Hecht of Atlanta, GA, has been preserved from which the following is quoted: "The ceremony by the gifted Rabbi was beautifully impressive. Beginning with an admirable invocation and excellent address to the couples about to be united, after the exchange of the marriage vows and of the ring, in token of their endless nature, he concluded with the priestly benediction. Through Hebrew was used in part, each sentence was translated as soon as uttered, and all was thus made intelligible to the large company present, who listened with intense interest to the close. We have never seen a more brilliant gathering in this city of many weddings. Two hundred invitations were issued. The decorations of the residence were simple, but artistic. In the rear of the hallway hung a floral bell, and underneath was a table, brilliantly lighted with candles, before which the misister and the couples stood. All around were pendant evergreens, wreathed into forms graceful and appropriate. The brides were most becomingly attired in white satin,with trains, and the grooms in full dress. En passant, we may remark that the former are intelligent and accomplished ladies, popular and beloved, as well as versed in all domestic lore, and will be helpmeets indeed to the worthy and successful young merchants who have been so fortunate as to win their affections and their hands. The attendants were Louis Mayer of LaGrange, and Miss Emma Hagedorn; Marcus Herzfeld of Alexander City, AL, and Miss Bertha Heyman; Master Louis and Miss Hetty Marx, of West Point. The banquet tables were two --- each in the form of an H -- and spread in separate rooms, and every variety of the good things of this earth crowning them The cakes were baked by the fair hands of the brides, and were beautifully embossed and trimmed by that ladie of exquisite taste, Miss Katie Smith. The ornaments were ordered from London. The presents were arranged on two tables -- one for each couple." [1]
