"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, March 2, 1907 THE McCUNE MARRIAGE BUREAU. John LUNDEEN, a fireman in the Armour packing plant, and Mrs. Sophia SODERSTROM were married yesterday in the juvenile court by Judge McCune. Mrs. SODERSTROM had been employed by the fireman as housekeeper. Because Mr. LUNDEEN's children were neglected, the couple was summoned to appear in court. They said they would do better by the children in the future and expressed a desire to be married. "I think it would be well for you to be married," the judge said. "I'll marry you free if you want me to." The probation officer went with the couple to the recorder's office, where they procured a license. Then Judge McCune performed the ceremony. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
