6	[Herring Family.FTW] The following article was printed in the Walker County Messenger, May 25, 1949. It was most likely written by Ida Mae Broadwell Herring, mother of the bride. "The marriage of Miss Barbara Joyce Herring, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Robert Stovall Herring of Tifton, and Eugene Jefferson Cornett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis M. Cornett of LaFayette, was beautifully solemnized Sunday afternoon May 15 at 4 o'clock at the First Baptist Church in Tifton. The Rev. Davis M. Sanders officiated. "The choir loft was banked with ferns and other greenery interspersed with festoons of cream-colored rope and ferns. Floor baskets of white gladioli were placed on either side of the alter and candles in tall-branched candelabra lighted the scene. "Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. J.J. Clyatt presented a program of nuptial music and James Bowen sang "Because" and "Sweetest Story Ever Told." "Clair de Lune" was played softly while the vows were spoken. "Edsel Cornett of Athens was his brother's best man and usher-groomsmen included Dr. Murl Cornett of LaFayette, brother of the groom; Curtis Veal and Herbert Frost of Augusta and John Mathews of Jasper, Florida. "Mrs. John R. Mathews was her sister's maid of honor and the bridesmaids were Miss Ruth Cook of Atlanta; Miss Eunice Herring of Tifton, cousin of the bride; Miss Mary Dixon, Thomasville and Mrs. Robert Hamlett, Brunswick. Their dresses and hats were of nile green. They wore cream colored lace mits and carried baskets of spring flowers tied with ribbons in pastel shades. "The lovely bride entered with her father, Robert S. Herring, who gave her in marriage. Her gown was of handsome candlelight satin, designed with long sleeves, a net yoke lined with beaded pearls, a fitted bodice and a full skirt which ended in a long train. Her finger tip veil of illusion was caught to a tiara of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of gardenias centered with a purple orchid and tied with satin ribbon. "Following the ceremony, the bride's parents were hosts at a reception at the Women's Club. The bride's mother received her guests in a becoming beige gown. The groom's mother also chose a beige model for her son's wedding. "The couple left during the afternoon for a wedding trip to Daytona Beach. They are now residing in their own home in Belmont Park, LaFayette. "Among those attending the nuptials from LaFayette were Mr. and Mrs. D.M. Cornett and Dr. and Mrs. Murl Cornett and little son, Joel."	Family: F407

29	[Herring Family.FTW] This information from Robert Cornett: "Alex Jefferson Cornett was born on September 21, 1987, around 8:00 p.m. and passed away just before midnight the same day. He had big feet and a head full of hair, like his daddy. He was delivered by Dr. Jackie Newlin at Memorial Health University Medical Center. He was attended by Dr. Morrison (pediatrician) and Dr. Jane Turner (neonatal intensive care). The primary nurse during Susan's stay was Jennifer somebody. I forgot the name of the doctor that did the autopsy but she was a very nice and compassionate person. Susan was rushed to the hospital and an emergency C-section was performed because there was 'poop' in her water when it broke. Alex looked perfect on the outside but he had some problems that apparently had developed or occurred during the pregnancy and he could not make it on his own outside of Susan's body. Geneticists decided it was something called Opitz-Friaz Syndrome, sometimes called 'G' Syndrome after the last initial of the first child diagnosed with this. Apparently Susan could be a carrier. He had a few minor problems but the major ones were an umbilical cord that didn't have enough 'veins' to properly deliver nutrients and remove waste, a divided esophogus (which by itself could have lead to death), his heart was in the wrong place, and one of his kidneys had 'exploded' (doctor's word). He is buried next to Mama and Daddy at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens in Savannah."	Alex Jefferson Cornett
