Thank you for the history on Scranton, MS. It is a very warm and informative article. Now if I can find out the brides name and more on her family. She was a native of Scranton, and she married Alexander C. Gordon. He was 30 years old in 1884, and Jenny, his wife was 23 at the time of her death, in 1883. At that time they were living in Calcasieu Parish, LA. I am researching Gordons, as my gr. grandfather Thomas Jefferson Gordon is a very illusive fellow.
