I remember during the war we all went to Dr.
Pilkington’s plantation to attend a Negro wedding. Mary and Ike were
to be married. The ceremony took place on the back gallery of the
white folks house. The bride wore a white dress (someone said it was
her Mistress’ dress) and she had on a veil made of lace window
curtain; never-the-less it was a great event to us children, as we
had never seen a wedding before. The Master, Dr. Pilkington,
performed the ceremony. Memories

Our nearest doctor was six miles
away, Dr. Pilkington, if I remember his name correctly."
