"A marriage of a somewhat romantic nature took place here yesterday. Hiram Clem, of Harrison, Mo., aged 38, and Miss Lucy Miller, aged 30, a resident of Pennsylvania, met by agreement here Saturday, neither having before seen the other, the acquaintance having grown out of an advertisement in a matrimonial paper. The courtship and engagement were conducted entirely by correspondence.
The bride elect arrived in town yesterday morning and the other contracting party at noon. The lady, by agreement, was to wear a broad white ribbon he had sent her as the insignia by which he was to know her. They met on the street, he introduced himself and they at once departed to the parlors of the Hawkins House. A marriage license was procured and Squire Simmons called in to tie the knot. At 2 o'clock they boarded a train en route for the Western home, where the bridegroom owns a farm." Portland Dispatch (Portland, Indiana), March 24, 1889
