County Marriages - 1895
Correspondence Leads to
Marriage.
Young Couple Who Had Never Met Before are Wedded
at Sistersville.
Sistersville, W. Va., Jan. 20.--Special
Telegram.--The principals in a wedding which was
solemnized here last night were William
Bryant, of Wyoming and Miss Jane
McCoy, of this city. Each is 23 years old, and they
never met before yesterday, when Mr. Bryant arrived in this
city. The young people were introduced by mutual friends by
mail, three years ago, as persons who would likely find
correspondence agreeable. They kept the correspondence up,
exchanged photographs, became engaged and fixed the wedding
day without having ever seen each other. Tomorrow they start
for Mr. Bryant's Western home. ~ The Daily Inter Ocean ~ January 21, 1895

News.
A wedding, the like of which has not
occurred in this vicinity, will take place Tuesday evening at
7 o'clock at the residence of the officiating minister. The
contracting parties are Misses Effie and Ella
Way, the charming daughters of ex-Sheriff
Way, and Messrs. H. A . Kelly and J. R.
Carroll respectively. The news of the approaching
nuptials of these popular young people will be quite a
surprise to their many friends. The weddings, which will be
very quiet affairs, will be witnessed by only a select few of
the friends of the young people. After the marriage the
wedding parties will return here and leave on Wednesday for an
extended tour, which will include a trip over the lakes of
Niagara Falls and other easter cities. On their return here
they will go to housekeeping at once in a house the grroms
have already furnished. They have the best wishes of a host of
friends for their future happiness. [The Wheeling Register
