Surnames: BENSON, McNAIR Classification: Marriage Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oEC.2ACE/590 Message Board Post: The Wisconsin Leader [Merrillan, Jackson Co., WI], Friday January 10, 1913, Page 1 Miss Hannah BENSON of this place and James McNAIR of Eau Claire were married in St. Paul on Christmas Day. Both of these young people are well known to our Merrillan readers. Mr. McNAIR, up to a few weeks ago was a brakeman on the Omaha Road. In a mix-up a short time ago with some Italians he was severely stabbed and came near losing his life. Since his recovery he has been working now and then, but finds that his strength is not gaining as rapidly as it might. Miss BENSON for a number of years has been a valuable employee of the Hotel Campbell and is well known for her general good nature and will make a fine helpmate for Mr. McNAIR. In a few weeks the happy couple will go south, where Mr. McNAIR is interested in some farm land and if the conditions are favorable they will remain and become permanent residents. The Leader joins in wishing them health and prosperity wherever they may locate.
