MARRIED AT ST. JOE.

Daughter of Ex-Sheriff O’Connor and Chester Besse Were Recently Wed. Miss Ella O’Connor, daughter of ex-sheriff and Mrs. John O’Connor of Kniman, and Mr. Chester Besse, son of George Besse of Remington, were married recently at Michigan’s gretna green, St. Joseph, but the marriage has only just become generally known. The facts as near as we can learn at this time are about as follows: Mr. Bessefhad intended to go with his brother to Dakota when the party of colonists left Brook a few weeks ago, and he and Miss O’Connor made a trip to St. Joe and were quietly married there, he intending to proceed to Dakota and send for his wife later. After considering the matter, however, it was decided that he would wait until April, when both would go. Mr. and Mrs. O’Connor knew about the marriage, we understand, and there were no objections to their wedding. The young couple have many friends here, at Remington and Kniman, who extend them hearty congratulations.
