Hello Irwin,
I realized I typed a typo. I was hoping that maybe there would be some confirmation of
Jacob Detwilder's (In other records, his last name is spelled Detwiler) parents, but I
would like to read what the newspaper had to say about their wedding because I don't
think the marriage was typical for the time. This was my ancestor's, Jacob, second
marriage, and if the 1880 Census for his widow is correct, he would have definitely been
old enough to be her father. I think his youngest daughter from his first marriage would
have been only a couple years older than the bride.
Thank you for looking,
Jessica
