Eph Joel and Miss Esther Daum were married at Peoria, Wednesday last. One by one the roses fall, one by one the faded flowers drop from their parent stem to mingle their ashes with mother earth: one by one the children pass through the "muling and puking" stage and join hands and hearts, forming new ties and new families; one by one the old pass off the stage and following swiftly in their footsteps comes youth, radiant and handsome; one by one the slow years come and go and their joys their sorrows; their woes mingle with the cycles gone before; one by one we come to the verge of the cold and silent tomb and on its crumbling edge say our last farewells to weeping friends and go with Charon across the Styx; one by one the old bald headed smile defies with the mosses of centuries hanging like a curtain about their trembling limbs come to the fact of fair woman and in turn beg her smiles. Eph we congratulate you on your step; may you never regret it and you will not. - kbz

James DICKERSON - Maude CURRY
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 27 June 1902 p 1
A few months ago, James Dickerson and Maude Curry appeared at the clerk’s office and applied for a marriage license. They hail from the neighborhood of Ladoga and were at that time about as timid a couple as ever came from that placid locality. At the time of their first appearance and when it was all fixed up the bride suddenly became attacked with stage fright and reconsidered her decision to leave the single state. James was a very persistent young man and he did not give up hope that some day he could prevail upon the lady of his choice to agree upon a union. That his efforts have not been in vain is attested by the fact that on Wednesday they again sought Clerk Kennedy and secured one of his documents which allows the performance of the ceremony which makes two hearts beat as one. The girl was very nervous at the time and had James as much as blinked, the stuff would have been off. The precious permit being secured, Squire Brewer was hunted up and at 4 o’clock they stood before him to have the ceremony performed. The bride was all but in, and she had no more color in her beautiful face than a snow man. She was little worse off in this respect than the groom who hardly had wits enough by this time to answer the questions. The knot was finally tied, however, and they are as securely bound together now as if they were the Siamese twins. After the ceremony they left for their future home in Clark Township. Both of the contracting parties came from fine families and their extreme timidity bespeaks a limited knowledge of the ways of the world, but there is no doubt that that it will not be long ere they learn enough of wedded bliss to look back upon their wedding day as one of peculiar interest not only to themselves but to those who saw the proceedings incident to the occurrence. Note: This couple moved to Tarrant Co Texas (Fort Worth) – Maude Blanche Curry Dickerson was born 21 May 1882 and died 12 July 1940 – dau of Adam and Mary (Thompson) Curry. They lived in Franklin Twp in Putnam County for a few years where they had several children, including Eva, James, Delphian and Johnnie, Loraine, Evelyn, Gene and Olin. James Darius Dickerson was born 30 April 1873 son of Floyd and Elizabeth Pennington and died in Watauga, Texas 12 March 1961 and are buried in Smithfield Cemetery in North Richland Hills, Texas. He was a laborer, usually doing roadwork. Thus, they were married about 38 years before she passed away! Bless ‘em and whoever wrote the cute story way back when 😊 kbz
