Rosenbarger, James - Mary E. Bunnell

Source: Covington Friend Thursday July 24, 1890 p2

  
A foam-flecked hope over which James E. Rosenbarger of Veedersburg held the lines was drive up panting to the home of County Clerk Hulett about 5 o’clock Sunday.  He wanted a license to marry Miss Mary E. Bunnell of Waynetown and he wanted it bad.  He was to be married at Waynetown at 7 p.m. and Mr. Hulett kindly consented to issue the license even though it was Sunday.  It was then learned that Supt. Zuck was the only man in town who could make affidavit as to the prospective bride’s age.  Unfortunately he was out of the city and Mr. Rosenbarger drove sadly back to Waynetown and dismissed the minister and waiting guests.  At 4 o’clock Monday he was back to Crawfordsville with the bride’s brother for a witness and the muchly desired document was issued. The friend on whom the groom had depended to get the license Saturday caused all the trouble and delay by failing to perform that duty – Crawfordsville Argus News. - kbz
