Marriage - GAHAGAN - SABIN - Crittenden Co, KY -------------------------------------------- From: Brenda Jerome Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 -------------------------------------------- Crittenden Press 1 March 1900 Married in Evansville A Prosperous Crittenden Farmer Finds a Wife in Michigan Martin GAHAGAN, of Weston, Ky., and Mrs. Amelia SABIN of Coldwater, Mich., were married in Evansville Wednesday. This wedding was the result of correspondence. The bride and groom never knew one another until they met in this city. The groom is a well known and prosperous farmer of Weston, Ky. He is in his 70th year and carries himself with a degree of erectness for one of that age. He was born in Armstrong County, Penn., and came from the sturdy Pennsylvania German stock. This is his third venture in the matrimonial field and he has a family of five children, all grown. Mrs. Amelia Sabin, the bride, is a dressmaker and gives her age at 53 years. Her residence was in Coldwater, Mich. She is a lady who bears a determined expression on her countenance. Her face is beginning to become wrinkled, while silvery locks are displacing the jet black hair of a few years ago. Her eyes are very penetrating and have not lost their girlhood lustre, while her figure robed in a blue traveling suit, made her an impressive bride for one of her age. This is her second marriage. Mr. Gahagan, who is a well to do farmer living near Weston, Ky., read an advertisement in a matrimonia journal several weeks ago. It read, "I am a widow." He answered the advertisement and a courtship followed. The climax was marriage. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Gahagan left for Weston, where they will reside in the future. The marriage took place at the Victoria hotel. [reprinted from the Evansville, IN Courier] Mr. Gahagan, as the Courier says, is a prosperous farmer, he is one of the well-to-do substantial men of the county, and his many friends throughout the county will join with the Press in extending congratulations and in hoping that the twain will find the union a happy one, and as the shades of evening began to fall afterwhile each will find in the other that comforts that cheers and makes placid old age.
