The following was from the Monroe mailing list and thought I would
pass it on.

The Salem PRESS contained the following:
"Married--at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. H. Hamilton, North
Hight street, Nov. 13, at 8 o'clock, J. Francis Morgan to Miss Carrie B.
Hamilton, Eld. Enoch Parr officiating. After the ceremony and
congratulations of relatives and friends, the young people took the
Chicago
express for Bloomington, their future home, where, we are told, the
groom
had a house furnished and supper awaiting his new-made bride. Mr. Morgan
was determined to win one of Salem's fair daughters who, by the way, are
always in great demand, and he could not have chosen a more loveable girl
than Miss Carrie. We sincerely hope that he will make her the husband
she
deserves to have, and join with her many firends in Salem in wishing
the
young couple lives full of the joys and blessings of matrimonial
happiness."
