  	December 25, 1915 Bluefield Daily Telegraph Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Burress received a message yesterday morning announcing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Jessie Burress at Roanoke, to Charles Elam. The bride left here Thursday morning and was joined at Roanoke by Mr. Elam and they were married soon afterwards and went on a wedding trip to Richmond and other points. Mr. Elam resided at Graham about two years ago, but is now holding a responsible position with a shoe factory in Lynchburg. Upon their return from their wedding trip the happy couple will reside at Lynchburg.
