Married

In this place by the Rev. H. B. Heacock, on the 27th of March at the residence of the Bride’s Father, Adjutant E. H. King of the 15th Iowa Infantry to Miss. F. C. Wilson of Oceola.

The wedded couple have our best wishers for their future happiness; and we doubt not that our readers, who have so many times been entertained by Mr. King’s letters published in the Sentinel, will join us in wishing them a long and blissful life.

Of the party at Mr. Wilson’s the Wednesday evening following, we shall speak on another occasion, for want of time this week.

Married

At Portland, Oregon, Nov. 4th, by Rev. Mr. Rutledge, Mr. D. B. Weterhouse of Oregon to Miss Jennie Rhea formerly of Oceola.

As Miss Rhea, and Mr. Waterhouse formerly resided in our village, we append the following which is taken from a letter to Mrs. Rhea.

Dear Mother

Jennie arrived at Portland, on the steamer Pacific, on the night of Nov. 3d. On the following morning I met her at the boat, and at 8 o’clock we were married by Rev. Mr. Rutledge of the M. E. Church, at the Temperance House. We were waited upon by our landlord to a very nice supper prepared expressly for the occasion. Several young gentleman and ladies were introduced to the wedded couple, and partook of the refreshments with seeming delight. Mrs. Waterhouse and myself will remain here a short time and then remove to our future home for the winter.

From your Son,
D. B. Waterhouse

That’s the way the gals go and “pop goes the weasel.” If they keep on in this way, there wont be any chance for an old bachelor in this world. Whose turn comes next?

Oh I wouldn’t be a married man,
No I wouldn’t if I could,
But I needn’t fret about it,
For I couldn’t if I would.
