MARRIED-At the home of the bride’s parents in Wyoming on December 26, 1890, 
Miss Elva Calkins to William E. Briggs of Centerville, South Dakota, the Rev. 
George R. Carroll officiating. The bride, Miss Elva Calkins, daughter of Dr. 
M. H. Calkins, is too well known to our people to need words commendatory from 
us. She is a graduate of Mt. Carroll, Illinois Female Seminary and has taught 
in the public schools of Wyoming and Maquoketa meeting with admirable success. 
Her life up to her marriage was mostly spent in Wyoming and was one of 
usefulness. Her kindly and effective efforts in keeping up a literary 
organization for the culture and education of our young people have been 
productive of much good and she will in this circle be especially missed. Mr. 
Briggs is the son of Moore Briggs, Des Moines, formerly of Wyoming and the 
marriage the consummation of an attachment of long standing between the young 
people. Mr. Briggs is a banker at Centerville, South Dakota, and is highly 
spoken of as a leading business in that place. The Journal extends the warmest 
and most  hearty of congratulations, wishing the couple a long and useful 
life.-Wyoming Journal
