Obituary notes for George B. HYMERS
Nevada State Journal 2 August 1906, p. 1
G.B. Hymers is Dead
George B. Hymers, son of County Commissioner T.K. Hymers, died this morning at the Sierra Hospital at 2:30 o’clock. He had been taken to the hospital last Sunday.
Late last night it was apparent he could not live, though everything possible was done for him.
The deceased was associated with his father in the prosperous livery business. He is survived by a devoted father and mother and sister Nellie, widow and son.
Funeral arrangements are in the hands of Perkins, Oliver & Gulling and announcement of the date will be made later.
A fact which lends peculiar poignancy to the sad death of George Hymers was the fact that his family were ignorant of it, until death had come. While the death was expected, it was believed he would live through the night, but suddenly and without warning George Hymers’ soul passed away.
Deceased was aged about 40 years.

A Popular Young Couple of Reno Take the Marriage Vow
The wedding last night of George B. Hymers and Miss Annie Becker was largely attended and they were launched on life’s trouble sea with great eclat. The ushers, H.B. Rule and Henry Higgins, managed to find seats for those present, which were arranged on either side of the pretty little church, leaving a passage way in the center of about fifteen feet, through which the wedding party passed. As George and his bride appeared at the front entrance the organ pealed forth strains from Mendelssohn’s great wedding march, and the bridal party, headed by Frank M. Lee with Miss Nettie Rising of Virginia, entered the church, followed by Mr. Hymers with his expectant bride. They marched to the altar and took their place under a beautiful floral bell depending from a triangle, a gift of Amity Lodge No. 8, K. of P., and Rev. Mr. Lucas pronounced them man and wife after the fashion of the Episcopal marriage ceremony. The church was literally a field of flowers, and the chancel rail and pulpits were handsomely decorated with choicest of God’s gifts to man. As they passed out the order was reversed and the bride and groom walked ahead, while two sweet little misses, Hazel Bacon and Edith Becker walked on either side, strewing their pathway with rose leaves. The party was driven to the residence of the bride’s mother in Commercial street, where an informal reception was held and the popular young couple were congratulated by their many friends.
The bride was dressed in a neat-fitting gown of white crepe over white silk and wore the conventional white veil, while the bridesmaid was charming in a very neat gown of pink mousseline de soire. The bride and bridesmaid carried bouquets of white sweet peas and maiden hair ferns. The groom and his right-hand man were clad in well-fitting Prince Alberts. If good wishes are worth anything to Mr. and Mrs. Hymers, they are rich, for the Gazette but voices the sentiment of the community when it showers upon them the God bless you’s of a large number of true friends.

Wedding Bells
Marriage of George B. Hymers and Miss Annie Becker
At precisely eight o’clock and thirty minutes last evening, George B. Hymers, one of Reno’s best and brightest young men, was joined in holy wedlock to Miss Annie Becker, one of Reno’s sweetest girls. In the truest sense of the term, both can be claimed as Washoe county children, having been born, educated, grown to manhood and womanhood and now married, all in Washoe county. They began their lives almost at the same period, grown up from childhood together, and now have joined hands for life’s journey until “death do them part.” The young couple were met at the Episcopal Church by a large crowd of well wishing friends, and but a few moments elapsed from the hour set before the Church was filled to its utmost, and the spaces in front and on the sides of the church was filled with friends anxious to witness the ceremony. The ushers were H.B. Rule and Henry Higgins. Miss Nettie Rising made a lovely bridesmaid and Frank Lee acted as best man. As the wedding party entered the church, the organ presided over by Miss Eva Quaiffe, pealed out an appropriate wedding march, and two little girls, Miss Edie Becker and Miss Hazel Bacon, led the party down the aisle and strew roses in the pathway. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers, and over the chancel a large floral piece made of white camelias in the shape of a triangle with a wedding bell hung from the apex. This piece was presented to the young couple by Amity Lodge No. 8, K. of P., of which George is an honored member. The wedding party stood beneath this, and the impressive services of the Episcopal Church were read by Rev. Mr. Lucas and the young couple made man and wife. The bride was dressed beautifully in silk crepe en train, tulle veil, and diamond ornaments. The bridesmaid wore a pink mousseline de soie, and looked very pretty. The gentlemen were all dressed in full evening dress. The parents and other relatives of the young couple were present. Immediately after he ceremony the young couple were driven to the residence of the bride’s mother, where a reception was held from 9 o’clock till 10:30. Mr. and Mrs. Hymers left last evening for San Francisco for a short visit, and as they were driven away from the bride’s home a shower of rice and old shoes followed after them. The presents were elegant and numerous.
