"I searched the Macoupin County Courthouse for this marriage in person. Didn't find it. I searched the Illinois Marriage Index on-line, not there. Couple years down the road I found the grand daughter of this person, asked her if she knew where they were married - Macoupin County. Sent me a copy of the original marriage cerificate. Thought I'd send it to you. Oliver is my grand father John Bond's brother. All of Virden. Thanks, Johnny Bond"

From Linda Kmiecik:

John C. Ross and Miss Anna M. Davis, joined in matrimony on 16 January 1862 by L. Diliard, M. G., which is Minister of the Gospel. Certificate #3691. It appears from the reverse side that it was "returned" as accomplished/married on 15 February 1862. Attached sheet headed: State of Illinois, Macoupin County, SS: (in paraphrase) John C. Ross says he is over the age of twenty-one years, and Anna M. Davis is nearly eighteen years of age, that she has no father, mother or guardian residing in this state, that she has not been under the control of any one for two years and no one has the right to prevent the disposition of herself as she chooses, and deponent (John Ross) knows of no reason why license should not issue for her marriage with himself.

From M Trover

Malinda's family moved to Illinois about 1841. John McAuley PALMER was the son of Louis D. PALMER and Ann Hansford TUTT. He was born Sept. 13, 1817 in Eagle Creek, KY. His family moved to Macoupin Co, IL about 1839.

December 26, 1877
Macoupin County Enquirer
A Linen Wedding

Gov. and Mrs. PALMER celebrated last Thursday, the 35th anniversary of their wedding day. All of their children and grand-children were present, Dr. and Mrs. J. P. MATTHEWS, Carlinville, Jno. Mayo PALMER and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. S. JANE, Mr. and Mrs. E. G. CRABBE, Miss Jessie PALMER, little Susie and Master Louis PALMER, with Johnnie and Lucy MATTHEWS, John, Robbie and George PALMER, grandchildren. Many presents in linen were given, that being supposed to be the proper material for such an anniversary. After the family dinner there was a general singing and talking and the family chronicles were read. We have been permitted to make a few extracts from it that may interest our readers. With reference back to their wedding it says:

"The attendants were Miss Susan DUGGER (now Mrs. WOODS, of Jacksonville, IL), Jno. A. CHESTNUT of Springfield, Miss Katherine KELLER and Mr. Swade COTTER, of Carlinville, (Miss KELLER afterwards married Mr. COTTER and died many years ago). Major BURKE was there with his young bride, Miss Emily KELLAR, having been married the previous month. Both are now dead. Miss Puss WINCHESTER, Miss Poss WINCHESTER,(afterwards, Mrs. MATTHEWS, of Missouri), Miss Carolina WALKER(now Mrs. Deacon PHELPS of Carlinville), Mrs. Dode HAMILTON(now Mrs. Wm. WEER), Miss Isabella HAMILTON (now Mrs. Robert GLASS of Carlinville), Miss Lib PALMER (now Mrs. Samuel T. MAYO of Carlinville), A. Kim DUBOIS, Dan BAGBY, Dr. WOODS and others of Carlinville's old settlers were there, while the brothers of the bridegroom, Frank and Charlie, came upon horseback from Madison county. Of the friends and relatives present only 16 are now living.

In speaking of the market of those days it was stated that their first cow, a fine one, cost eight dollars, and the best horse in the county could have been bought for fifty or sixty dollars. Corn was worth a picayune a bushel. You could board at the best hotel in town for $1.50. The house in which they began life together stood on the north-west corner of the new courthouse square and for which they paid 3 dollars per month rent. This was the only time they ever lived in a house not their own, with the exception of the four years occupancy of the Governor's mansion at Springfield."

Hello! (email written 18 Dec 2009)
While browsing in an antique store recently, I saw a lovely framed Marriage Certificate for Charles Marth and Louise Schaum, both of Bunker Hill, Illinois. They were married Oct. 23, 1895.  Much of the certificate is in German.
The store was Early Tymes Antiques in Moscow Mills, MO.  Phone number there is 636-356-4322.  Email address there is: ekautz@centurytel.net
Hope this item makes it way back to a family descendant.
Sincerely,
Lois Hunziker
(The antique store was contacted for price in Dec 2009 and the price at the time was $50.00.)
Note: if anyone gets this marriage cert, please notify the county coordinator so this note can be removed leaving the data. Thanks.
