Corsicana Observer, Jan. 7, 1874

Married:

On the 21st ult. Mr. Elijah Melton, Jr. to Miss Julia C. Moss. The ceremony took place at the residence of Rev. John Green, and the bonds celebrated by him. Alas! poor Ligs, thrice you have met loveley woman at the hymenial alter, and thrice you have made the solemn vow. It is said that the third time is the charm, and surely you have it this time. If you have it not, it is no fault of your, for surely you have done your duty.

"The maid that loves  Goes out to sea upon a shatter'd plank, And puts her trust in miracles for safety."

Corsicana Observer, Feb 25, 1874

Married,

On the evening of the 18th inst., at the residence of the bride's father, in Corsicana, Mr. C. Kennedy Elliot and Miss Leah Hucherson. No cards. It was our good fortune to witness the ceremony uniting these two as one. The ceremony was impressive, and was witnessed by a number of friends of both bride and groom. The guest partook of an elegant supper, and as we swallowed champagne with our friends, the following sentiments were undoubtedly felt by the beautiful bride towards her future liege lord:

"I bless thee for the moble heart,
The tender and the true,
Where mine hath found the happiest reat
That e'er fond woman's knew;
I bless thee, faithful friend and guide,
For my own, my treasur'd share,
In the mournful secrets of thy soul,
In the sorrow and thy care."

The happy couple left on the 9 o'clock train for Dallas, which is to be their future home.
