He Had Acquired the Habit
Limestone New York residents Ham Beardsley and Harp Andrews recount a humorous anecdote about a local Methodist pastor. A wood-delivery man arrived at the parsonage and asked the minister to marry him, only to realize he needed to cite his partner for marriage and misdirected the load. The story hints at many recent marriages tied to Pennsylvania licenses and notes six local couples wed in York state last week.
