(Rantoul Press-date unknown) "First 100 Years Is The Hardest: One day last week James Jarvis, of this city, and Elizabeth May Riggleman, of Ludlow, decided to get married and surprise their friends. They went to Paxton and there joyfuly made their way to the pasrsonage of the M. E. church, where they told the pastor that they desired to get married. The pastor was willing and invited them in. The groom-to-be was asked for his marriage licsense and he was minus the necessary document and told the preacher that he didn't know that he had to have a liscense. Well, the "stuff was all off" and they returned to Rantoul, still enjoying "single" blessedness. However, they were determined to get married and the next day went to Urbana, where they securedthe liscense and now they are Mr. and Mrs. James Jarvis. Briggs is right when he says the "first 100 years is the hardest." They were married on Christmas day at the Baptist parsonage in this city by Rev. Shawger.
