[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]

Friday 28th  Weather bright & pleasant When I returned from evening
service I found Dr Armand DeRossett & his lady here–They came
to see about Mrs Morrows’ house–Their daughter Alice was mar
red at 12 o’clock to day to Mr Graham Davis & went immedi
-ately off to Raleigh, & from there to Petersburg–quite a private
wedding in Church–No letters–Mrs DeRossett told us also of Lucy
Empies marriage with Tom Brown-
