From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Sunday, June 26, 1904, p. 11:

The following invitation has been received by a few intimate and interested friends:

Dr. and Mrs. B. A. Gresham invite you to be present at the marriage of their granddaughter, Hattie M. Poindexter, to Mr. Frank H. Collins, Thursday evening, June 30, 1904, at 8:30 o'clock, South Lake street, corner West Broadway, Fort Worth, Texas.


From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Sunday, July 3, 1904, p. 4:

The marriage of Miss Hattie Poindexter to Frank M. Collins last Thursday evening has occasioned the heartiest congratulations. Both have a host of friends and good wishes are universal.

The ceremony was performed amid beautiful decorations, the parlor being adorned with palsm and cut flowers. The alcove for the ceremony was made of ivy and palms. The dining room was marked by pink ribbons and carnations, the table having streamers of pink and white from the chandelier and the cake rested on an elaborate cover of lace.

Before the ceremony Mrs. J. Montgomery Brown sang, "You" and Miss Etta Wilson played the wedding march, Lohengrin.

The bridesmaid was Miss Irma Poindexter, the bride's sister, and the groomsman J. I. Stephens. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Caldwell.

The bride wore a beautiful gown of white liberty satin, trimmed with point lace. The bridesmaid wore pink crepe de chine, with shirred skirt and bodice. Both carried beautiful bouquets.

After the ceremony there was much merriment over the cutting of the wedding cake, and ices and cake were served.

Among the many handsome presents was a silver butter dish, and silver salt and peppers that had been among the wedding gifts of the bride's grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Crenshaw.

Mr. and Mrs. Collins will be at home on Samuels avenue.

Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Searcy and Mr. and Mrs. Stein of Dallas.
