The excited couple were Miss Ann and Mr. WILSON, and as they were thoroughly in earnest, it was concluded to have the ceremony performed at once. –The minister was of an accommodating nature and a few minutes later Miss Anne HENDRICKS became Mrs. Robert Burns WILSON.

We, with their many friends, extend out heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones. Born, to the wife of Bant CONOVER, the 22nd inst., a son. Mr. G. W.

The contracting parties are well-known here and are first cousins. Mrs. McFARLAND was visiting relatives in Illinois when the union was agreed upon. They came to Kentucky for the ceremony, the laws of Illinois not sancturing the marriage of cousins. The remains of Mr. Geo. R. YOUNG's son, who died at Anchorage last Fall, will be brought to Adair County for re-interment. A brother of the deceased and Mr. Porter BARGER left for the remains yesterday. Mr. Frank JUDD, who lived in the suburbs of Columbia, notified his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. VAUGHAN, that he had found a nice location in Illinois, and they left for the point he designated last week. Frank is a good worker and has a nice family, and we hope that he will do well at his new home. A few days ago we were asked how many ex-Mexican soldiers were yet living in Adair county. We could not name but three—W. C. TURK, John EUBANK and William CABBELL. There may be others, but we hardly think that there are. The old veterans of 1846-7 are fast passing away, and in a few more years the question will be how many are yet living in the State. They will be numbered like the revolutionary soldiers, one in Adair, one in Fayette, another one in McCracken, etc., and whey you are through counting there will be only six or eight. ------------------------------ From: "Dana B.Brown" Date: Thu, 05 Jun 1997 16:41:58 -0500 Subject: KY-F: KY-F OBIT: Jump, 1899 - Grant Co ties from (Quincy,Ill.
