The marriage of Miss Lillian Jackman and Mr. Crumpton Graham, which was

the ceremony in the presence of only the brother and sister-in-law of
the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Graham, and the sister of the bride, Mrs.
Stanford.

accessories to match. She is one of Tampa's attractive and a [sic]
popular young girls and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jackman.
Mr. Graham is connected with the C.H. Moorhouse Company of this city,
and is highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. The happy couple

will include a visit to the east coast. Upon their return they will be
at home at 611 S. Delaware Ave. Their many friends unite in wishing them
all future happiness.--The Tampa Daily Times.
