Civil War Wedding

Filed under: Ephemera, Oklahoma by allmyanc

I found this article in the 4 January 1935 McAlester, Oklahoma newspaper, of course, while looking for something else. That this couple, James Mills and Sarah Keifer, had gotten married in a Civil War army camp piqued my interest. Seventy years married is a lot of years! There is a lot of great genealogical information in this article–I hope their descendants have a copy.  And I loved the comment that their wedding provided a break from the monotony of army camp.
