bullet Marriage Notes:

Source: Crescent newspaper clipping, unknown January 1896 date ; probably local newspaper in Wayne County, Ohio

F. L. Lightfoot, of this place, and Mrs. Mary A. Moore of Apple Creek were quietly wedded at the M. E. parsonage on Wednesday evening, Rev. E. D. Barnett officiating. The bride combines many graces and is also highly accomplished and an ex-teacher in the public schools at Apple Creek. The groom is a model gentleman and in every way worthy of his bride. The Crescent unites with their friends in extending congratulations.

NOTE - As best as can be determined, Mary Ann Vincent was previously married to "Moor" or "Moore". Her name on the license was given as Mary A. V. Moor which presumably meant Mary Ann Vincent Moor even though the license gives her prefix as "Miss". The license did not provide any information if there was a previous marriage or not. The newspaper article about the marriage gave her name as Mrs. Mary A. Moore.
