    1. [MORANDOL-L] 1886 Wedding from the Moberly Monitor
    2. Matt and Christy McKinsey
    3. Hello, I am going to write out the following wedding announcement because some of the family names seem to be from members of this group. I have a picture of the wedding also. I would love to hear from any descendants of these people. This is long but here goes. From: The Moberly Monitor: a clipping kept for many years by Annie (Yager) Cleeton and given to Mary (McKinsey) Bealmer by her about 1842. Yesterday evening, July 18th, 1886, about one hundred of the friends of Miss Lucy McKinsey met at the residence of her mother to witness the ceremony which united her and Mr. Marshall Woods in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony, short, beautifully and impressive, was performed by Rev. J.R. Terrill, and the affair was brilliant in the extreme. The bride was dressed in cream satin and lace, with natural flowers. Groom in full evening dress suit. After the ceremony and congratulations those present did ample justice to an elegant supper. List of presents: Groom, fifty dollars in gold. Mrs. M.E. Christian, elegant dress pattern. Mrs. Ann Terrill, embroidered apron. Miss Lolah Terrill, hammered brass plaques. Mr. and Mrs. John McKinsey, silver pickle caster. Miss Mattie McKinsey, gold pencil and box of stationary. Mrs. Lutie Dolan, hand embroidery. Miss Nora and Mr. Omar Deskin, silver pie knife. Mrs. J.R. Terrill, box toilet soap. Mrs. W.H. Link, silver cream mug. Mrs. Bettie Jones Bohemian vases. Miss Nannie Jones, amber sugar bowl. Mrs. William Quayle, silver napkin ring. Mr. and Mrs. A.P. Terrill, brass and plush match case, sisp broom and holder. Miss Emma Head, Will Carleton's poems. Mrs. S. Forney, bridal bonnet. Mrs Ella Baxter, white satin fan and elegant bouquet. Miss Ora Shirley, silver fruit knife. Miss Dazarine Irons, silver butter knife. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Michaels, pair towels. Miss Nora Dolan, white satin handkerchief. Mrs. A.D. Terrill, picture. Miss Nannie McKinsey(sister), monogram. Mrs. Mary McKinsey (mother), table linens. Messrs. James and Jesse McKinsey (brothers), elegant autograph album. Mr. Woods is engaged in large manufacturing and live stock interests in Arizona and has come a long ways to capture one of Randolph's noblest young ladies. After a few days they leave for San Francisco, thence to their future home in Arizona. May each prove worthy of so good a helpmate, and continue to improve on such a brilliant start. Matt McKinsey
