Marriage of Lewis Leachman and Almira Griffith



From Pauline's scrapbook, the marriage of my great grandparents:

Married- At the residence of Wm. Griffith, near Vevay, August 25, Mr. Lewis V. Leachman and Miss Almira Griffith by Rev. W. E. Morris; Both parties from Carroll County, Ky. May many flowers of happiness be strewn along their pathway - Vevay Times.
Yes, but what's the use of doing things up that way; why did'nt you let us know beforehand, and have a real good old fashioned wedding, and invite all your friends, including the Democrat? These post nuptial congratulations are not as satisfactory to us, but they none the less sincere.

I believe William is Almira's Uncle. They married in 1887. By this time, Almira's mother had passed away.
