\u201cA Sensational Marriage\u2014Amelia County News\u201d<\/strong>\u2014As Judge Farrar got off the train at this place on the evening of Tuesday, the 26th, he was accosted by a gentleman who told him that he wished to get married.<\/p>\n The Judge replied in his usual good humor, \u201cI am glad to hear it. What can I do?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell,\u201d the young man said, \u201cmy intended has no mother or father, and I want to get your permission under the new law.\u201d<\/p>\n The thoughtful clerk, Mr. E. H. Coleman, who had been apprised of the matter, had all the papers arranged and the clerk\u2019s office lighted up. The papers were duly certified and the license issued.<\/p>\n The Judge asked, \u201cWhat next?\u201d<\/p>\n The young man answered, \u201cMy intended bride being present, we are going to get married as soon as possible tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n Thereupon, our venerable clerk lit his lantern and led the way and the bridal couple, escorted by the Judge and others, went to the Methodist parsonage and aroused Rev. Mr. Ferguson, and in the parlor Mr. James Royall and Miss Minnie Malinex were married in due form and ceremony. The Judge gave the bridal party benediction and the family congratulated the happy pair, and they returned to their future home rejoicing.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n For more marriage announcements from The Daily Progress<\/em> (Charlottesville, VA), April 1895, and several other articles, CVGA members should go to \u201cMembers Only\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on the menu bar above, and choose\u00a0\u201cCentral Virginia Heritage \u2014 Current Issue.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(Note: You have to be logged in to this website in order to see \u201cMembers Only.\u201d)<\/p>\n If you have trouble logging in to the site to download your copy, please contact me at the webmaster link at the bottom of this page.<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who are not members of CVGA<\/strong>, we offer the opportunity to purchase a printed copy of each issue.
