Area Marriages (January 1, 1890)

Our old friend, ‘Squire S.B. LORE writes to the Dispatch about a few marriages that he “attended to during Christmas times.”  On the 24th, Mr. Samuel MEDLIN and Miss Cornelia EVERHART called upon him to the matrimonial knot for them.  The next day he went to the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth CROTTS, where he performed the marriage ceremony for Mr. James CROTTS and Miss Eliza LEWIS.  On Sunday, he had two marriages at his house.  The first couple was Mr. A.L. CONRAD and Miss Mary Louella BURKHART; the second was Mr. William GRIMES and Miss Mary CURRY.  In concluding his letter, the ‘squire says: “I must tell you that we had a fine time of it was a whole.  I wish I could have had the Dispatch with me.”
