I found this on Hirum Silvers in: JACKSON COUNTY PIONEERS by Pearl Wilcox. page 286 Lewis Jones Hotel--......on the corner of Maple and Liberty streets. ...... An early newspaper reported: "The Jones Hotel is quite a favorite resort for youth and beauty of both Independence and Kansas City." The marriage of Mr. Jones's daughter, Tabitha, and Hirum Silvers was solemnized in the hotel by the bride's father, who was then justice of the peace. ...... Hope this helps.
