From the Chastain Scrapbook

MARRIED--Mr. John M. Chastain and Miss Sarah Albaugh, of Eden township by Eld. J. C. Porter, on the 26th day of December, 1872.

We were pleased to hear of the marriage of this worthy couple. Decatur County can boast of no truer or respected occupants. Mr. Chastain is a young man of high standing and excelling qualities, while the lucky bride is no less esteemed among her legion of admirers and friends. May their matrimonial career ever be full to overflowing with that happy agreeableness and good feeling that has heretofore characterized them.
