Seymour (IN) Daily Democrat, January 20, 1898, p. 2. MAGEE-BANTA At the home of the bride's mother on East High Street in this city, at 7:00 o'clock on Wednesday evening, January 19, 1898, Mr. Edward R. Magee and Miss Dove Banta were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, Rev. J. M. Baxter of the M. E. Church officiating. Mr. Magee is a very popular fireman on the B. & O. S W., in which line of work, by close attention to its every detail, he has won the confidence of his superior officers, and by his gentlemanly demeanor he has gained the good will of a host of friends. The bride is one of Seymour's fairest daughters, and by her winsome ways she has endeared herself to a large and constantly widening circle of friends. That their wedded life may be prosperous and happy is the wish of everyone.
