M: Elliott, Shelvey: Dec 22, 1899: p 4: c 2: Bucktown
   Bride - French, Maude. Eloped to Council Bluffs, Ia., without knowledge of bride's parents. Miss French had been visiting relatives in Omaha for a few days and we presume it was all planned out. The French boys did not approve of the marriage and when the bride and groom arrived in town on Tue. evening train and went to Booth's bran to get teir teams with the intention of driving to Elliott's home west of town, they made considerable talk and threatened to use neckyokes and "one-thing and another," but were finally pacified by a few of the grooms friends who threatened to "eat 'em up Jack." Girl is not old enough to be married in Nebraska, therefore Council Bluffs became handy. Some say she is but fourteen, some fifteen and some that she is nineteen. That objection is very easily remedied, by adding fourteen, fifteen and nineteen to make forty eight and dividing by three, and there you have your legitimate age for the state of Iowa-sixteen. Anyway, Shelvey has got the girl-"everything is lovely and the goose hangs high." Groom is son of Bob. Elliott of Bucktown. Bride is daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd French of Arizona.
