- A Day in the Life at Benton Manor -

Almost immediately after Ophelia Anne and Samuel were married they started to expand their family in order to ensure the St. John name and its’ extraordinary legacy will stand the test of time for generations to come. After having three sons, Ophelia was moved to tears upon the arrival of their baby girl Mary Elizabeth! Are more children in their future? Maybe! They certainly have a fleet of governesses to keep them all in line!

The marriage of Brigadier General Samuel St. John of Benton Manor to Ophelia Anne Mobley took place a yesterday at his historic home. General St. John was the absolute most prized bachelor this season and after being hounded by every debutante in the south, he chose Ophelia Anne to spend the rest of his life with. The two met during the Carnation Ball  where she made her debut! It was a shock to all that the General wanted to marry again after the death of his late wife Birdie Ruth Ralsten. But once he laid eyes on Ophelia Anne, the rest was history. Although it will take some getting used to, Ophelia Anne spends her days studying every inch of their sprawling estate. In awe of its beauty, she has taken up gardening and has planted an extensive array of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. The two could not be more in love and the Mobley family could not be more pleased with their rise in social status.

- Gardenia Manor - Built by the newlywed Mr. Samuel St. John only a 45 minute carriage ride away from Birdie Ruth’s childhood home… Gardenia Manor is perfect for the pair because they have room to host many social gatherings as a new couple but more importantly, to grow as a family!
