1880 Marriages, El Paso County, Colorado Transcribed by Marta Norton 24 April, 2000 The Colorado Springs Gazette Newspaper Wednesday, January 15, 1881; p. 4. List of Marriages Contracted in El Paso County, Colorado During 1880 We gave last year a list of marriages contracted in 1879, as we have reason to know that list was a matter of great interest to many of our readers and has been frequently referred to since its publication. We have, therefore, collected from the books of the county clerk a similar list of marriages contracted in 1880. The following condensed table will show the number of marriage in each month and the total number of marriages during the year. January 6 February 5 March 4 April 5 May 3 June 4 July 8 August 5 September 7 October 9 November 11 December 9 Total 76 From the above it will be seen that November was the month chosen by the greater number of people which to be married, and that October and December are the next greatest favorites, each one of these standing upon equal term, while the merry month of May is the lowest on the list. In the first quarter of the year there were 15 marriages, in the second only 12, while the third shows an increase to 20 and the last quarter the report of all amounting to 29 which would seem to disprove the statement the poet that "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thought of love." The following is the list. JANUARY ~ Wm. A. BURGESS and Adaline A. LAYTON, January 4, Justice Croffer. H.S. POTTS and Miss Isabella MCCULLOCH, January 8, the Rev. R.T.
