A marriage from 1919; another in 1920 then a new old one from 1967!

With the sun shining brightly, but the temperature only 10 degrees, we found this a great day to sit by the fire and go through marriage declarations from yesteryear. The first is from "The Times News" which article was neatly folded and sent to me while residing in a far off country. The marriage was no surprise as Ann Brough and Bob Shepherd were close friends as teenagers and it didn't take an Einstein to figure they were meant for each other forever. And both came from excellent stock with Bob's father selling hay to the Jones family and a fair man he was. The next wedding invitation hailed from the oolitic beach of California involving Ester Smith and John Ingersol Cazier of Nephi, Utah. In the beginning of Juab County, the Cazier family helped settle Nephi and darn good people to be neighbors with and one of the original Jones gals tied her horse to a Cazier hitching post! Then came Della Orme who accepted a gold ring of togetherness with one of the local Tolley boys in 1920. May all marriages remain as beautiful as the cursive writing of the past.
