The Daily Cleveland Herald, Dec. 3, 1859
A marriage, under rather singular circumstances, took place at Liverpool, 
Medina county, in this State on the 24th ult.  In November, 1850, Mr. Erastus 
Salsbury was married to Miss Helen Pritchard.  The marriage took place in 
Liverpool, and the parties lived happily together for about a year and a half, 
when the husband set out to "make his pile" in California.  Years rolled on; 
the husband toiled in the mines, and the wife remained at home waiting 
anxiously for his return.  By and by rumors reached her of his infidelity, and 
after waiting a weary period the apparently deserted wife obtained a divorce 
on the ground of wilful neglect, and Mrs. Erastus Salsbury again became Miss 
Helen Pritchard.

The divorce was obtained about a year since.  Not very long after the wife was 
again made a "spinster," the husband returned from California and was 
astonished to find himself once more a bachelor.  An explanation was at length 
obtained.  The bachelor-husband declared to the unmarried-wife that the story 
of his infidelity was untrue.  He commenced an active courtship and on the 
24th of last month the happy couple were re-united by the Rev. A.R. Palmer, at 
the same place where the nuptial bond was first tied, just nine years before.
