• Notes

  Her marriage is listed in the Johnson City, TN newspaper "The Comet" on May 18, 1893. "Marriage at Allentown: Mr. J.A. Goodwin and Miss Donie Sorrells were married on the banks of the "beautiful Watauga" at Allentown Sunday without the knowledge or consent of the bride's parents. Miss Donie is the beautiful and accomplished daughter of W. A. Sorrells, Esq., a properous mechant of that town, who objected to his daughter marrying at so tender an age. The same cannot be said of Mr. Goodwin, as to his personal appearance, with a strict regard for the truth, writes our correspondent, but he is one of the most enterprising and successfull business men in that community and will make a model husband, unless all signs fail. The contracting parties went to Sabbath School as usual in the morning and Miss Donie performed her work as secretary until a carriage drove up to the door. They entered and were soon joined by the Rev. Patton when all were driven about six miles from town on the Watauga river and were united in marriage. They are spending their honeymoon at Butler, in Johnson County, and will return to Allentown Wednesday. Their many friends wish them a long and happy wedbed life."
