    Thursday evening, Nov. 4, 1886, at the home of R.S. Wilmarth, in Lincoln, Kan., by Judge J.H. Smith, Frank Wilmarth to Miss Minnie Dewey, both of Lincoln.
    No young couple in Lincoln ever stepped off the plank into the sea of wedded life followed by more congratulations and sincere wishes for long lives of happiness and prosperity. Mr. Wilmarth has grown up from boyhood in Lincoln County, and dates his residence here from 1871, and counts as wellwishers hosts of newcomers, as well as the old settlers among whom he has ever been a conspicous figure and a popular associate. He is a popular businessman and probably has more than an average business career before him.

    Sept. 29, 1886, at Corinth, Williamson County, Ill., John Henderson and Della Duryee, formerly both of this place. As child, youth and man we have known John Henderson and have yet to hear the first unkind or disrespectful word spoken of him.
