The Southern Sentinel (Winnfield, LA) July 6, 1906
Nicholas - Ford
  There arrived on Monday's northbound L. & A. train from Jena a young 
couple who were escaping from the irate father of the young man, who resides 
at Manifest, in Catahoula parish.  They sought the Clark's office and made 
application for marriage license, the young lady doing the talking.  Clark 
of Court P.K. Abel, always accommodating, issued license to M.R. Nicholas to 
web Miss Katie C. Ford.  Rev. Geo. A. Kelly was called in to perform the 
ceremony, and after they were duly married the young groom wanted to know 
how much he owed Bro. Kelly.  On being informed the bride remarked that they 
would not return home immediately as they would have to work some here to 
get means to pay fare back home.  They thought they could get married at 
Jena and did not bring enough money to defray the expense of a trip to 
Winnfield, whereupon Rev. Kelly made no charge, thereby enabling them to 
return on the evening train.

Additional Comments:
Katie died at Crowville, LA in 1916.  Her husband Marion remarried and died in 
in 1962.  He is buried at Crowville Masonic Cemetery.  Katie's grave appears 
to be unmarked.
