Early Montana marriage vows by Justice Reed in Belknap
The story recalls an 1878 Montana justice Reed who wed a couple at Belknap in winter. The bride swore to support the U S Constitution and Montana Organic Act and to be true, while the groom vowed to split wood, fetch water, shovel snow, and strive to be a gentleman. Reed ended with revolver pop and beer corks as celebration. The column then argues McKinley backed neutrality on the Panama Canal, noting Americans’ edge in land access and a possible wartime path to canal control, with tensions between nations.
