McEwen - Pond
"Cupid let alone will get in his work. Proof of this is that, on last
Sunday morning Knox McEwen, cashier of the Bank of Rockford, armed
himself with the authority of the State of Alabama, bided himself to the
bride’s residence in town and called for Miss Pearl Pond, one of the
Rockford’s popular young ladies, and notified her that he had called for
the purpose of consummating the contract  previously entered into. Cupid
still sitting as the judge. Bro. Moman as spokesman, and the necessary
witness being present, a life contract was entered into; and Knox McEwen
and Miss Pearl Pond were made husband and wife. The many friends of the
couple wish for them a long, happy and useful life."(1)
