Decatur County Journal

April 8, l897

The following, regarding the wedding of a former Decatur County young

man, will be of interest to his many friends over the county. The groom

taught school for a number of years in the western part of the county

and is well and favorably known. The clipping is from a Greenfield,

Ill., paper:

M.C. ANDREWS and MISS MOLLIE F. BEARD, two of our good young country

people, were united in wedded bliss on Thursday evening last at the home

of the bride, just north of Fayette. Rev. McWherter officiated. They

have removed to Greenfield and taken up their abode in the Wilson house,

just east of the square. We extend them a hearty greeting and hope that

their wedded life will be one of unalloyed happiness.
