In a short time or early next money, the Weiser family of Delaware county, hold their annual reunion (which is always so largely attended, enjoyable and pleasant,) at the pretty home of Mrs. Annie Heidman, east of the Olentangy, just below the village of Stratford, once so prosperous, now the home of the C. D. & M. interurban light plant. The place selected for the home coming is where Fredrick Weiser, the founder of the southern branch of the family settled in 1817, but a couple of years after the close of the war of 1812-14. He was a good man in every respect. Of course this once numerous family is largely scattered and all of the living members will not be present at the reunion for 1905. A number are living in Prospect who will be looked for to be on hand to participate in the festivities of the occasion. Ample shelter will be provided in case of stormy weather. I see that Prospect is to have some new side-walks built, and some of the present ones out of style fixed over. There is nothing like having good pavements especially in such wet weather as 1905 so far has furnished. A gala day will be at your County Fair grounds on Thursday, August 24, 1906, when the surviving soldiers have their picnic. Would like to be there to participate with the boys in blue, but cannot see my way clear to that effect as that is the day for the annual meeting of the Delaware County Pioneer and Historical Association, also other outings near Delaware. And so Roy Wottring, one of your good boys, engaged in business in Detroit the City of the Straits, has been married for several months, and only revealed the secret to his parents at a very recent date. The happy bride is an Ohio girl from Columbus. And Roy scarcely a voter yet. The marriage of children seems to be the rule everywhere. Good luck and plenty of it to the happy couple. Prospect people who wish to enjoy a pleasant outing, should be prepared to "all aboard" the cars on the occasion of the First Baptist church excursion from this City to Detroit on Thursday, August 17th, as they reach your city. They can have a pleasant ride by cars and water, and lots of fun, see a beautiful city for a small outlay. D. W. C. L. BY MARRIAGE AND FAITH Miss Carrie Mayfield of Columbus, Known in Prospect Becomes a Morman and Wife. Miss Carrie Mayfield formerly of Columbus and a charming lady who has many relatives in Prospect and vicinity and who is a favorite cousin of Miss Maud Wynn, is the bride of an elder in the Norman church. Until recently she was the secretary and stenographer in the free employment bureau, at Columbus, but she resigned and left there July 3. Now she is the wife of N. F. Kearns, an elder in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to whom she was married July 12, at Manti, Utah, and will live in the future at Gunnison, Utah. "Frank and I were married on the 12 at Manti," she writes in a letter received Monday by her father, Austin Mayfield, of Camp Chase. "We came home to Gunnison in the evening." she continues, "and they had a lovely reception for us. Now papa, I want to tell you truthfully that I have gotten into one of the finest families in the West—not in the way of earthly possessions—but good, religious people. Frank's father has but one wife." "Tell all my friends," she continues "that I am perfectly happy and content and am in the keeping of one who would give his life for me." Mr. Mayfield stated Tuesday that there was no mystery surrounding the departure of his daughter from Columbus. He knew where she was going, he said, and if she wanted to marry Elder Kearns, that was her own business, he asserted. "Elder Kearns and a companion, at my request, came to my home last January," said Mr. Mayfield, "and it was there the former met my daughter. According to her own honest conviction she accepted the unpopular doctrine of Jesus Christ and was baptized into the faith by Elder Kearns on June 6. Elder Kearns was a missionary sent to this city two years ago, and he finished his work and started back to his home on June 9. My daughter followed him a little over three weeks later, and married him immediately upon her arrival." It is the custom in this country for one to marry whom she pleases without getting the consent of all the neighbors." philosophically says her father who consented to the marriage and is glad his daughter is happy.
