I'm taking a
break from genealogy today to share an interesting newspaper notice of a marriage.
This item appeared in the 19 November 1877 issue of the Evansville Journal (Evansville, Indiana).
"Mr.
Tom O. Sugg ... for several years very
widely known in Evansville and vicinity, will lead to the hymeneal altar at
Providence, Ky., tomorrow morning, Miss Amelia Given, daughter of John W.
Given, a wealthy tobacco dealer of that section. The bride is not only handsome
and bright, but is an heiress. The marriage is to take place at the residence
of the bride's parents, and the happy couple [will] leave immediately for New
Orleans."
Don't you
wonder whose idea it was to call her an heiress?
