5/2/07 A contribution from Tom Fea from the Moberly Daily Monitor, Moberly, Missouri, July 14, 1881.
Marriage Bells.
Last night witnessed the union of Mr. John Fea and Miss Annie Otto in the holy bond of matrimony. Miss Annie is one of Moberly's fairest daughters, on whom all admired for the superb beauty and captivation ways; she has long been the belle of Moberly, and now upon entering the marital relations, all unite in congratulations and will wished for a long and happy life. No one wishes the couple more success that the Monitor. Mr. Fea is a successful young business man of Amsterdam, N. Y. and is well known in this city. At nine o'clock last evening the bridal cortege drew up in front of the Episcopal church and allowed the bride and groom to alight, accompanied by their attendants, Mr. Charles Haines and Miss Emma Otto, and Mr. Emmett Woodson and Miss Bessie Bushnell. The bridal party marched down the aisle to the wedding march and stopped before the minister who was to make them one. Amid universal silence, Rev. Richardson in his impressive way pronounced the beautiful and solemn ceremony of the Episcopal church. The bride and groom together with a few intimate friends of the family then repaired to the residence of the bride's father, to await the coming of the train that would bear them to their new home in Amsterdam, N. Y. The party, which had been joyful a few moments before, was now filled with sorrow and the parting of the bride with her old school mates and friends was indeed affecting. The Monitor can offer but one more wish; may the young couple who have just embarked on the sea of matrimony have a calm and peaceful voyage; may their connubial joy be unstinted and may they ultimately anchor in the haven of the best. We reiterate the closing words of the Rector, "Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder."

WAITED FORTY YEARS.
A ROMANCE WHICH ENDED IN MARRIAGE AT LYONS.
Mrs. Mary Hurst and William
Stauring Had a Lovers' Quarrel
Two Score Years Ago.- A Happy
Denouement.
LITTLE FALLS, Dec. 23.- The happy consummation of a pretty romance in which a Little Falls woman figured as one of the principals took
place at Lyons on Wednesday, when Mrs. Mary Hurst was united in marriage to William Stauring of that village. The bride, who is well known here, where she passed most of her life, lived at the corner of Glen avenue and Webster street, and has been a widow for many years. More than forty years ago, so the story goes, Mrs. Hurst, then a handsome girl of 20, and who lived with her parents near Jacksonburgh, became engaged to Mr. Stauring, who was her companion and lover almost from childhood. A lovers quarrel separated the two, and the breach widened, with the result that each married someone else. The life partner of Mr. Stauring, as well as Mrs. Hurst, has been dead for some time. Within the past summer it is said, the lovers of long ago accidentally met and a reconciliation was affected, which ended in their betrothal before they separated.
