Hi John, I'm writing to see if one of these days, you might be able to check on a marriage record for me. She had married John M. Morris in 1860 and remarried an unknown Martin about 1868 or so. They had a son James who was born in 1869. John, I see you're posting to the Newspaper Abstracts for Missouri. You're terrific and I do not know when you sleep! Bless your heart, and THANK YOU for all the help you give so freely. Theres a chance they married in Leavenworth, but I'm hoping it was Jackson.

In the theater entertainment lexicon of the day, olio referred to little variety acts that were performed between major acts or presentations in vaudeville or burlesque shows. Regards, Ted Snediker
