HARGROVE-KRIDER.

Pretty Marriage Takes Place at Robersonville.

Robersonville, N. C., April 29.—Yesterday morning at 8:15 o’clock, at the home of Mr. Charles H. Rawls, Dr. Robert H. Hargrove, an eminent physician, and Miss Dora Mae Krider, of Salisbury, were married by Rev. C. W. Howard, of Kinston.

The parlor of the residence, in which the marriage vows were given, was attractively decorated in white and green, roses, lilies, ferns and Southern smilax.

The wedding music was rendered by Mrs. Clara P. Morton, and the bridal party entered the parlor to the strain of “Lohengrin’s Bridal Chorus.” “Because ’Tis You” was played softly during the ceremony, and “Mendelssohn’s Wedding March” was played during the exit of the party.

The bride was attended by Mrs. Nannie Ward, as dame of honor, while the groom was accompanied by his brother, Dr. William E. Hargrove, of Kinston.

Mrs. Hargrove is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Krider, prominent citizens of Rowan county, and she is considered an amiable and lovable character by all who know her. She has been teaching in the Robersonville high school for three years, and is loved and esteemed by all whom she has served, and they will greatly feel the loss of her aid in the school.

Dr. Hargrove was educated at Trinity College and the University of Maryland, and has been a successful and eminent practitioner at this place for several years, and is now an active and progressive business man.

The couple boarded a Coast Line train at 8:45 for a trip to Washington, D. C., and on their return they will occupy their attractive home on Main street.

Mrs. Hargrove Died Saturday In Robersonville

Funeral Service Conducted In Robersonville Church Monday Afternoon

Mrs. Dora Krider Hargrove, widow of the late R. H. Hargrove, M.D., died at her home here early Saturday evening, July 1, following a long period of declining health.

Mrs. Hargrove was seventy-one years old and the daughter of the late Georgia Ann Hudson and William Robert Krider of Spencer. After attending the schools in her home community, she studied at Mont Amoena Seminary at Mt. Pleasant and was later graduated from Claremont College in Hickory, N.C. She came to Robersonville in the fall of 1907 and taught in the local school until her marriage in April 1910.

She has been a member of the First Christian Church for about 35 years and was first president of the Ladies Aid Society. Under her capable leadership the women’s work of the church was well organized and grew appreciably. She remained a faithful, loyal, active and able member of her church until chronic illness prevented her from participating actively in religious and civic activities. Mrs. Hargrove was a devoted mother and friend, and her sterling qualities and character were exemplified in the manner in which she lived.

Funeral services were conducted from the Christian Church at 3:30 on Monday afternoon by the Rev. J. M. Perry, assisted by Rev. Hilary Worthington. Interment was made in the Old Cemetery.

Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. H. H. Pope Jr. of the home; two grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. J. H. Roberson, Sr., of Robersonville; a brother, R. L. Krider of Greenville, S.C.; and a nephew, Curry Krider of Salisbury.
