Many thanks to G. Fecht for the wedding anniversary clipping. This fills
in some interesting details in my own family research. I would guess that
the French's did indeed remain in Kosc. Co. after this announcement, as
they are buried next to her O'Brien parents in the cemetery just down the
road from the O'Brien farm. The O'Brien parents had died within a year of
each other in the 1890's (don't have the file here at hand). I found
considerable information on the O'Brien branch a year ago in the Warsaw
archives, because of William O'Brien's stature in the community. Eliza
Waggoner was the oldest (or second) child of Samuel Waggoner and older
sister to my ggf; Sarah and my grandfather were first cousins, but
separated by nearly 20 years. Sarah Elizabeth would have been named for
her grandmother Elizabeth Wicks Waggoner, still alive at her birth. If
anybody is interested in Sarah or Eliza I can provide a little more info on
this part of the background. Unfortunately I have not traced it back
before Samuel who was born in VA. Is there any indication of which Kosc Co
paper this appeared? Would like to check out the picture next time I'm in
Warsaw, in case the issue survives. Thanks again. RK
