Mr. J. A. Christy (sic) of Stonewall, and Miss Rachael Black of near Davis, drove to the Presbyterian manse Christmas morning where Rev. R. W. Oakes spoke the words that mad them husband and wife. They left immediately for their new home near Stonewall, where the young husband is a farmer. We wish them health and happiness.
(The news article was mistaken about Mr. Christy's name; his name was Burrel Homer Christy.)
