MAZE Jr., Flem and BURNETT, Mollie – (m. 1882)
MARRIED — On Thursday, 5th inst., Mr. Flem. MAZE, Jr., to Miss Mollie BURNETT, both of the Creek. Flem. gave as an excuse for marrying just when he did that his corn was so deep in weeds that he never could get it out alone. but kind readers, ye mothers who have marriageable daughters, don’t let these two litle marriges turn the tide of your immigration from the Creek. As the monarch of the forest, the mighty oaks that have stood the storms of many winters, so stand we with extended arms and outstretched hands to welcome you; we offer you, as we have thousands before you, unincumbered hearts and hands.
