A Three Rivers Marriage?

A 22- year-old farmer from North Fayette Township marries the 19-year-old daughter of a river man living in O’Hara Township.   What separates their hometowns is 25 miles and the convergence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers.

How did they meet?
Where did they court? 
Was it a long courtship? 
Where did the ceremony take place? 
These are great mysteries yet to be solved. 


What we do know is that Charles C. Cheesebrough married Nellie B. Hulings on April 3, 1889, as evidenced by the following marriage license docket.

    Nice introduction of the story to come - it made me really excited to read the story behind the documents.

    I like how you're setting the narrative up. It will be fun to get to know this couple. Where did you find the docket?
