A clipping from the Blue Ribbon News following the notice of the
marriage of George H.:
May every year with changing time
New blessings bring to you,
May heaven crown the bride of thine,
With virtues rare and true.
May guardian hosts with safety guide
Both thee and thine through life
And she whom thou hast made thy bride,
Be all in all to thee as wife.
