Tyler County Marriages - 1894

At A Fishing Camp
A Tyler County Couple Married in Style, in the Presence of a Wheeling Party.

Last Sunday there was an unusual but pleasant event at the fishing camp of a number of Wheeling gentlemen, at that picturesque spot known as The Jug, on Middle Island creek.  This was nothing less than a wedding, the high contracting parties being Mr. Israel Ferrell and Miss Sarah Gorby, both of Tyler county.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mays, of Middleboro, Tyler county, in the presence of a large assemblage of guests, among them being Messrs. Fred Wooster, Joseph Green, Robert Fritz and Jacob Watson, Winnie Winters, Robert Miller, K. Kuhn and others of this city.  An elaborate dinner followed the wedding, the bride's cake being contributed by Miss Ashcroft, of Tyler County.
