McKinley - McKinley

Griffin, Ga., Jan. 3. - Last night at Quitte, in Pike county, about seven 
miles from this city, Mr. Elijah McKinley was married to his sister-in-law, 
Mrs. M.E. McKinley, the ceremony being performed by Justice R.R. McElroy. The 
contracting parties are well advanced in years but are among the  most 
respected and substantial citizens of their neighborhood. Justice McElroy, who 
was in Griffin today, says that they are receiving hearty congratulations.

Additional Comments:

Elijah McKinley's first wife died in 1892, Mary Evelyn Ballard McKinley's 
husband (Elijah's brother) died in 1897. When they married in 1902, she was 45 
and he was 48. Although they were "well advanced in years" as the article 
reported, they had a son, Douglas, who was a barber in Zebulon for many years.
