Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Brock, Robert Brock and Burt Brock motored to McComb Sunday to attend the marriage of Miss Bessie Brock and Mr. Robert Thornhill. The bride is the youngest sister of Dr. Brock, a charming and efficient young lady, known and admired by most of the people of Franklinton. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Will Knight, where no pains were spared in the attractive decorations of pink and white thruout the entire house, and in a lovely wedding luncheon which was gracefully presided over by the hostess and her mother, Mrs. J. S. Brock. Immediately after the ceremony the voting couple drove in their own automobile to their home near Tylertown, Miss.
Bessie Brock is the 24 year old daughter of Dr. Jeptha S. Brock and Susan Alvaline Holmes. Bessie and James Robert Thornhill were married on 19 November 1916.
