This
was my paternal grandmother's family (she is the youngest, in the center between her parents.). This couple met on the wagon
train moving west. Their friends fell in love and decided to get
married - except that they were in Oklahoma, which was then officially
Indian Territory - and no Americans could get married there. My great
grandparents went along on the 7-day wagon ride as chaperones and
witnesses. Apparently, they fell in love on the trip, because a week
later, the same 4 people made the same 7-day trip for another wedding.

It is never fun to write into a vacuum. I would love to know you were here, so stop and say hi!
