Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 December 1899 — That Active Yens Anderson. [ARTICLE]

That Active Yens Anderson.

The half has not been told regarding the activity and enterprise of that estimable and jolly young Dane, Yens Anderson, since he put on his new cork foot for the first time a week ago last Saturday. He has not only secured a good job as flagman for the Monon since that time, but has married a good wife, also, and, what is more he eloped with her. She was Miss Iva Winkley, of Monon, and her parents were strongly opposed to her marrying him, and last Friday night she ran away with him, and that night, at midnight, they were married at Monticello. The parents have already forgiven her, though they said they never would, and Tuesday by their invitation she went over to Monon, from here, to visit them for a few days, prior to joining her husband at Hammond.
