    1. [KS-OLD-NEWSPAPERS] Marriage: HOWARD--QUIGG
    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Harper Advocate Harper County Thursday September 1, 1921 Howard--Quigg. During the last few days, the fact of the marriage of Mr. Levi QUIGG and Miss Fleta HOWARD was gradually leaked out. On Saturday evening, July 23, 1921, these two young people drove over to Anthony and at the home of Judge Hawk took upon themselves the marriage vow. That they might surprise their relatives and friends, the fact was kept a secret until recently. Miss Howard who is quite well known, having spent a part of her girlhood here and has since her mother's death, a year ago, made her home with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter GISH, is a charming young woman and will be remembered by many as the pleasing trimmer at the Elvin Millinery store during the past seasons. Mr. Quigg is a born Harper county boy and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Quigg, Jr., on the farm near Duquoin for several years and for the last few years with them in their Harper home. Last winter he enjoyed a few months in Pasadena, California and returned to look after his large wheat raising interests in the spring. This season, Mr. Quigg together with Coleman Bros., is sowing 600 acres of wheat near Duquoin. During the winter months, Levi works at the auto mechanic trade along which line he is very proficient. We feel sure a large circle of friends will congratulate the happy couple when the fact that their marriage becomes known and to them, Mr. and Mrs. Quigg wish to announce that they will be home at Harper after November 1st.
