    Notes for Fredrick Edgar Metzger II:

    Wedding-To-Night: Mr. Fritz E. Metzger and Miss Louise M. Cornillaud will be married tonight at the residence of the bride's father, four miles from the city (downtown) on the (Old) Cairo road. Mr. Metzger is a young butcher, well and favorably known by all who visit the market-place, and is an industrious, clever and courteous gentleman. Miss Cornillaud is the daughter of the old gardner and florist, and is an intelligent and handsome young lady. It is a good pair, and the NEWS is always glad to note such unions of young people.

    Last Night's Wedding: A large number of people visited the suburban residence of Mr. Cornillaud last night to witness the marriage of his accomplished daughter, Miss Louisa, to Mr. Fritz E. Metzger. The marriage took place at 7:30 o'clock and parties from this city who attended state that it was an exceedingly nice and pleasant affair. The bride being pretty looked more lovely than ever, and the groom knowing that he had succeeded in capturing one of the sweetest girls in the land, was mixing with his friends smiling and blushing like a full-blown rose. Mr. Cornillaud and his excellent wife had prepared a feast that would have done credit to the Vanderbilt family. The tables were ladened with the choicest of wines, cakes, fruits, etc., and handsomely decorated with beautiful flowers, cultivated and arranged by the bride. Music and dancing were indulged in until 2 o'clock this morning, when the hundreds who had gathered there to witness this happy union left for home feeling glad that they had been afforded the pleasure of being present on the occasion. The NEWS extends its hearty congratulations. Ref: Both articles are from the NEWS in 1884.
