Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 December 1908 — Mary’s Wedding. [ARTICLE]
Mary’s Wedding.
A Maryland man recently married off his fourth daughter, the ceremonies touching whose wedding were given much attention by the “society editors” of the country papers In that region. A week or two after the wedding a friend who had been north for some time met the father, to whom he made some jocular references in regard to the recent “event.” "I see by one paper,” said he, "that Mary’s wedding ’well nigh beggared description.* ” "Well,” said the old man, “I don’t know about that, but I do know it well nigh beggared me!’*—Lippincott’s Magazine.
