Wedding Wednesday--Two Weddings the Same Day

David Smalley  about 1890
      It was in Saline County, Nebraska that my great-grandparents, Lafayette "Lafe" Smalley and Rosa Ella Shipman were married in December of 1880. It was almost three years later when Lafe's brother David Smalley and Rosa's brother Timothy Crawford Shipman were married on the same day, October 1, 1883.
    David Smalley married Carie Beebe and Crawford Shipman married Mary Wilson. They both were married at the residence of Rev. Wm Le Miller in Olive Township, Saline County, Nebraska. David and Carie were witnesses for Crawford and Mary and Crawford and Mary were witnesses for David and Carie. David was the only one who was over 21, so the other three had permission from their parents to be married.
