Charley Werts / Eva Wise
Lebanon Patriot
Monday, December 21, 1891
Ward -- The fortune teller's prophecy came true. Perry
Ray held the right and left bower but Charley Werts
held the winning hand. The fact was made known by the
blowing of horns, the rattleing [sic] of bells and
the firing of guns, together with many voices to make a
noise so as to wake the peaceful slumbers of bride and groom
which was finally accomplished. So Charley Werts and
Eva Wise are man and wise.
