AI Notes
A single newspaper clipping pasted to the album page, with a page-locator ‘E-6’ typed at the upper left of the printed page above the article. The clipping carries two engagement announcements; only the first (‘McEwan-Green’) is transcribed in full. The second announcement, partly visible at the bottom right, concerns a Miss Shropshire and a Mr. Kinsey III.
The second announcement runs across the bottom of the clipping; the bride’s full name and the opening of her announcement are cut off above the visible portion. Spellings “Beverly” and “Kinzey/Kinsey” follow the clipping.
The bride-elect — the compiler’s eldest granddaughter and Hunter McEwan’s mother — was presented to society at the St. Cecilia Ball in Charleston, the annual debut of the St. Cecilia Society (founded 1762, one of the oldest social organizations in North America). Membership is hereditary in the male line, making Nancy McEwan’s presentation an inheritance from the family’s antebellum Charleston connections. Ashley Hall is the Charleston girls’ boarding school founded in 1909 on Mary Street; she attended before completing high school in Orlando.
