Few prettier weddings have occurred in Salem than that last Thursday night at the Methodist church of Mr. Baker W. Armstrong to Miss Mary Nugent. The church was prettily decorated, and the following gentlemen, in full dress, acted as ushers:- Dr. E.M.(Edward McCarty) Armstrong and Messrs. C.M.(Charles Magill) Armstrong, W.(William) Glasgow Armstrong, Lewis M. Smead, J.W. Hannah and Jacob S. Baer. Rev. C.A. Miller presided at the organ and rendered the March from Lohengrin with spirit and expression.

At about ten minutes to eight the bridal party arrived and proceeded to the altar in the following order: First, by twos, the the ushers, then the groom arm-in-arm with his best man, Mr. Robert Armstrong, after which came the bride with Miss E. Kate Dosh, as maid of honor. Rev. J.S. Hutchinson and Rev. Perry Nugent performed the ceremony, after which Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong took the nine o'clock train for New York, where they will spend some time, after which they will go to Houston, Texas, where the bridegroom is engaged in business. Many handsome presents and congratulatory messages were received by the happy couple.

Taken from a contemporary newspaper cutting.

Baker White Armstrong II became a member of the Presbyterian church in Salem VA on 26th February 1875, and removed to Baltimore MD on 5th May 1883 four months behind his brother Robert (church records) and found work there with George B. Seal, Druggist. Baker left for Bryan, Texas, on Oct. 8th 1884.

In 1900 he had two living-in Servants - Lillie B. Davis, a child nurse, and Daisy Kill, the family Cook.
