Wedding Wednesday: Joy/Fogg

States (Washington, DC)
16 August 1859

January and May

A wedding came off at Brown's Hotel about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in which the disparity of the ages of the happy pair occasioned some remark.  The parties were Miss Carrie E. Joy, late of Vermont, aged 18, and Mr. Carter B. Fogg, of Prince William County, aged about 60.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dabney Ball, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the presence of a large and attentive company.
