Her marriage announcment is in an old newspaper clipping (but no date):
"Yesterday at high noon Mr. A. L. Bury, of New York, and Miss Lois Pharr were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.M. Pharr, of this place, in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the family, with Rev. C.W. Robinson officiating. The parlor was very tastily decorated with beautiful evergreens. A luncheon was served after which the happy couple left for Newark, N.J., where they will reside in the future. The bride is a very pleasing and attractive young woman, and leaves behind a ___ of well wishing friends."
Another clipping with a date of "October 17, 1907" on it states:
"A letter from Mrs. A.L. Bury, of Newark, New Jersey, formerly Miss Lois Pharr, to her parents here, states that a brother-in-law of hers was asphyxiated in her home a few days ago, by a bursting gas pipe. She detecting an odor was first to discover the man's body."

Below is her wedding announcement, a newspaper clipping with no date:
"Edwards-Pharr

John J. MILLER [Parents] was born on 11 Nov 1766 in , Rowan Co., NC. He died in Nov 1842 in , Rowan Co., NC. John married Elizabeth LENTZ on 4 Jul 1797.
In the 1820 Census there is found John Miller. In the census are found males: one age 0-10, one age 10-16, one age 16-18, two age 18-26, one age 45+ (John). Female: one age 0-10, two age 10-16, and one age 45+. He would be age 54, and wife would be age 44, so it is correct for him and one year off for her.
The Wendell book says, "John MIller is the forefather of a Legion of People scattered throughout the US. His son Dewalt moved to Illinois, where many Millers are living today. His son Peter moved to Wilkes Co., NC, and the Millers are still in that area along Fishing Creek. Several of Peter's sons moved their family to Utah, and became active members of the Mormon Church."
Fay Geick sent me this in 10/98:
......Here is some more info on John J. In 1805 he and wife Eliz. purchased a tract of land from the heirs of Lawrence Lingle adjoining the Lower Stone church. At that time the church was known as the Presbyterian Meeting house which such named on the deed granted to John and Eliz. Miller. The Millers were members of Organ Lutheran church but also attended Lower Stone (a church near their home) due to the fact that Organ church conducted services on one sunday and Lower Stone church were having their services on the following sunday. Lawrence Lingle was granted the said tract of land from the English Government on Dec. 21, 1761 by John Earl Granville Viscount Carteret. .....Interesting Huh?? I will send you more next time.
