The Marietta Journal. under the caption, "a
Romantic Marriage" gives the following:
Early Wednesday morning there aDDeared on
our streets rustic couple desiring to be united
In double bieSSedneSS. The mother of the girl
accompanied them, and seemed to be engi-
neering the affair The young man was shoe
less, hatleSS and mOneyleSs. A large black
patch adorned the knee of his bridal pants
He was otherwise plainly dressed, likewise his
intended bride. He said his age was nearly
nineteen years, but his size and physiognomy
indicated that he had not seen over sixteen
summers. The girl looked to be about twenty
three years old, and seemed eager for the
nuptials- Her mother bought the license
and several citizens consolidated their
nickels and bought the young man a
hat and pair of shoes 1t seems the girl had
stolen the young man from Mr.. Asa Darby =
house at night and eloped with the boy, and
the boy deemed it his bounden duty to sue
cumb. After several unsuccessful attempts to
get some one to perform the marriage ceremo-
ny, they finally persuaded Rev. J. H. Harris to
tie the knot, which was witnessed by quite a
crowd at the Clerks Office at the court house,
and then and there Uriah Evans and Sarah E.
Cantrel were made husband and wife. They
reside on Mr.. Asa Darby's farm, seven miles
west of Marietta
