The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, July 24, 1880 July 24, 1880
On the 28th of March 1880, Granville SEARCH and Sarah OSBORN were married, he
colored, she white. At the June term of the district court the husband was sent
to the penitentiary for a term of five years. On last Saturday, July 27, Albert
Manifield obtained a license from the probate court of this county, and on
Sunday last, the 18th inst, was married to Mary Doyle. The age of the woman in
each instance was 18. It is said that Sarah OSBORNE, alias Searcy, and Mary
DOYLE, alisa MANIFIELD, are one and the same person--that the woman has been
twice in less than four months, and is guilty of bigamy. The woman was left
destitute, and likely to become a charge upon the county, we are told, and
probably thought this the best way out of the dilemma.
