    1. September 11, 1880 - Portsmouth Times
    2. Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson The Portsmouth Times Dated: September 11, 1880 Ironton has an Enoch Arden. A year or more ago JAMES DAYTON went South, leaving his wife at that city. Yellow fever was raging pretty badly in the sunny climes about that time, and it was reported that Dayton was a victim to the destroyer. Meanwhile JOHN JONES, a scion of the extensive Jones family, won the affections of the disconsolate widow, and the two were united in marriage. A day or two ago Dayton put in an appearance, and, learning the turn things had taken, had Jones arrested for violating one of the commandments. Jones was fined one dollar and sentenced to jail for one hour. Both men have deserted the much married Mrs. Dayton-Jones, and she is now a duplex widow.
