Had To Have A Certificate

Had to Have a Certificate.

DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 1.—An Eagle River, Keweenaw county, dispatch says that a strange wedding was held there recently. Col. William B. Wright, an old settler and well-known hotel man, was married again to the wife he married forty-eight years ago. The reason for his doing so was because he is the recipient of a large pension from the United States government, and, being likely to die at any hour, and knowing how difficult it would be for his wife to draw his pension without a marriage certificate, had a new ceremony performed. The original certificate had been lost.
