Hi Folks, Janet, caught me on a real whopper of an error in the following post. 6 Apr 1900--Married, in Higbee, on April 2, 1900, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Elgin, Texas, and Miss Fratie Whitmore, of Moberly, Rev. J. E. Norvell, officiating. They left on the evening train for Elgin, their future home. The News joins their many friends in extending good wishes. Looks like I left out one very important part of this announcement. The GROOM. Since the reel that I transcribed this from has already gone back to the Historical society, is there anyone on the list who might have access to the 1900 marriage records, either on microfilm or in transcripted form, who could supply the name of the lucky groom? Obviously, the last name of the Mr. and Mrs. C. F. is also missing, but it looks like they were living in Elgin, Texas. I know that I have read articles about a family that was living there, but I can't remember the family name. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Kathy Bowlin
I have the Howard Co marriage records and can look there tomorrow. I really hope it is not in the Randolph Co ones. They only go through the 1890s - at least the ones I have.
