From The Fredericksburg News, Monday,
Oct 31, 1853:
On the 20th instant, by the Rev R B C Howell,
D.D., Geo H C Rowe,
Esq., of this place, to Miss Virginia G SLEDD, of Richmond.
Oh may their love through life be as
the tide
Of the fabled Libyan fountain is; that flows
Its waters but the warmer, as more wide
The dreary shades of night around it close
