THREE VIRGINIA GIRLS MARRIED WITHIN A WEEK

Misses Myrtle Virgin, Martha Looker and Marion DeFrates are Brides

Dan Cupid has been active in Virginia despite the tortuous heat, as 
is evidenced by the fact that three local girls were married during 
the last week.  Two of the weddings came as complete surprises, each 
being in the form of an elopment.

On June 29 Miss Myrtle Virgin 18 years old, daughter of Mrs. Nettie 
Virgin, who resides six miles southeast of this city, came home from 
DesMoines, Ia., where she is employed as a secretary in the Iowa
State Children's home, to spend her vacation.  On July 10 she went 
to Peoria where she was married to Carl Adkins of Beardstown.  The 
young couple will make their home in Beardstown, where Mr. Adkins is 
remuneratively employed.

Mrs. Adkins was graduated from the Virginia High School at the age 
of 15 and last September completed a course at Brown's Business 
College in Jacksonville.

Word has been received here of the marriage last Saturday afternoon 
of Miss Martha Looker, 18 years old, daughter of Mrs. W.H. Looker of 
this city, to Russell Haglock of Beardstown.  The marriage was 
performed in Rushville.  The newlyweds will make their home for the 
present with Mrs. Haglock's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Looker
of Virginia.

Miss Marion DeFrates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph DeFrates, of 
Virginia, was married in Kansas City, Mo., on July 5, to Carl 
Aldrich of Less's Summit, Mo.  Mr. Aldrich is foreman over a hard 
road gang.  The bride is a graduate of the Virginia High school.  
They will make their home in Lee's Summit.

Last Saturday evening Elbert Looker, a young farmer of Morgan county, 
and Miss Marie Shawen of Jacksonville, were married in this city by 
Police Magistrate Bailey.
