The Liberal Leader Seward County Thursday August 9, 1888 W.H. BLOOD and Miss Mary SMITH were married last Sunday afternoon, August 5th, 1888, at the residence of the bride's parents, two miles south of Liberal. Rev. J.B. Bradley performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by a number of relatives and near friends of the contracting parties. Miss Smith now Mrs. Blood is a very pleasant young lady who enjoys the esteem of a large circle of friends. Mr. Blood who lives 2 1/2 miles south of Liberal, is one of our most prominent farmers, and a progressive citizen who takes great interest in everything that concerns our county and our city. We wish the young couple a long life of usefulness, prosperity and happiness.
