| Text | On April 20th, 1910, Jas. Willis and Miss Blanche Carlin by Rev. F. P. Henderson at the residence of Jas. Moore at 9:30 p.m. For some time Madam Rumor has had the time set for this wedding and the young people decided to play even with their fiends by getting the ceremony performed and keeping their marriage a secret. The license was procured in Sedalia, MO, by W. A. Boucher is one reason their friends were thrown off their guard. Mrs. Willis is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Carlin of this place and one of Purdy's best young ladies with a host of friends that regret to lose her. Mrs. Willis is one of Purdy's prominent young men who stands well with everyone and now holds a good position with the Aurora Wholesale Grocery Co., at Aurora, for which place they will leave next week where they will begin housekeeping. They have the best wishes of their many friends. Purdy Guide Research Note: Blanche Jemima Carlin is a descendant of Charles and Sarah (Collins) Haddock, Jr. |
