Decatur County Journal
September l9, l90l

Married, at the residence of the bride's father, W.M. HAMILTON, near Blockley, at high noon on Wednesday, September ll, l90l, by the undersigned MR. ARTHUR PATTERSON to MISS INEZ, the eldest daughter of MR. and MRS. W.M. HAMILTON, in the presence of only a few of the intimate friends of the contracting parties. These young people were both born and raised within a few miles of the place in which they were married and are well and favorably known to a large number of people and count their friends by the scores, all of whom join in wishing them a pleasant journey through life.

For the past few months, MR. PATTERSON has been employed on a cattle ranch in Wyoming, to which place he expects to return with his young bride in a few months. MISS INEZ HAMILTON has been postmistress at Blockley and telephone agent, chief clerk in her father's store, as well as freight and ticket agent for the K. & W. Railroad, and in these capacities she has made many friends who will regret to see her leave and who will miss her genial smiles as she waited on the customers that visited her father's store.

The undersigned having been an intimate friend of both her parents since their childhood, and at one time they were both pupils in a school that he was teaching, and when their first daughter was born, he was permitted to name her INEZ, so when she was to be married it was her wish that he perform the ceremony and complete her name.

These young people start out on life's journey with bright prospects and the best wishes of their many friends for their future success and happiness.

GEO. P. CAMPBELL.
