From the Dade County Advocate, August 17, 1911-- Everton Superintendent Weds--
There was a wedding of unusual interest at the home of Mrs. Veda Morris, aunt of the bride, in Dadeville, August 2nd, at 3:15 pm, in which Professor Robert D. Cowan of Aldrich, MO, and Miss Ingalls Gyles, of Hereford, Texas, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. W.R. Russell, pastor of the Everton Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Cowan is one of the most promising young men of this section of the country. He is a fine scholar, having taken a course in the State University, and stands in the front rank of our educators. He is now superintendent of the Everton schools. His bride is the accomplished daughter of our former citizens and friends, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Gyles now of Hereford, Texas. We congratulate the Professor on his wise selection of such a noble young woman for his life companion.
Mr. and Mrs. Cowan will be at home in Everton, to their friends after August 25.
