Gorbonics......would you please dissect that sentence? Say wha?
On a much brighter note, my sister in law found this article while researching the family history. Who would of thought such a truncated ceremony would lead to 75 years of marital bliss!
>>Newspaper Article of Rubey and Della's Wedding Day<<
**************************************************************
That Cupid can't be thwarted in his plans was proved again yesterday when
Miss Lucy Morton and Rubey Poe waived the customary dignity of a wedding
ceremony at a church or home and were married in the automobile, belonging
to Justice of the Peace, M. M. Marshall.
They originally planned to be married by a local minister at 2 o'clock, but
at the last moment obstacles presented themselves and the arrangements could
not be made. So the couple met Justice Marshall at the station and were
married in his automobile at 6 o'clock, just before taking the train for
Milwaukee, where they will make their home.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Morton of West Burkhart St.
and has been employed in the local shoe factory.
Mr. Poe, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Poe of West End Place holds a
position with a shoe factory at Milwaukee.
Judge Marshall was at home at 5:30 o'clock, when he received a call to come
to the station and marry the couple, who wanted to leave on the 5:35 train.
Owing to the fact that the justice lost his right arm while in the railroad
service, he cannot drive a car and Mrs. Marshall was drafted into service as
chauffeur and the race to the station started.
The prospective bride and groom were waiting for the justice, who ushered
them out of the station and over to his Ford car, which was standing a few
feet from the entrance to the station. The couple took their places in the
rear seat and Judge Marshall stood on the outside of the car and pronounced
the marriage ceremony. Mrs. Marshall and one or two interested bystanders
acted as witnesses.
"It's the quickest wedding ceremony I ever performed," said Judge Marshall
this morning, "and I haven't got all of the rice out of my clothes yet."
