The Washington Republican Washington County Friday January 29, 1897 Marriage Licenses. Dec. 22, Fred COLLIER, age 18, and Myrtle G. FITCH, age 16, both of Haddam. Dec. 26, John DINGMAN, age 27 and Anna SPENCE age 20, both of Hanover. There are three marriage licenses on record this week, one from Emmons, one from Kimeo and one from Washington, marked "don't." That means the newspaper must not tell what is on the records, a profound secret and something the neighbors must not find out.
