Notes - Married on the Train.
A romantic wedding took place on the train between Gillett and Wabeno Saturday August 28. The contracting parties in this happy event were Mr. Victor John, the genial station agent at Wabeno, and Miss Gertie Cain of Oconto. The bride, accompanied by justice Newald of Gillett, took the 1:30 train from the latter place and when near the county line between Oconto and Forest counties, they were met by the groom and his party who had come to meet them on a handcar, as it was necessary to have the nuptial knot tied on Oconto county territory. The train was stopped and Justice Newald lost no time in declaring the lovers man and wife. Miss May Lecourt. who accompanied the groom from Wabeno was bridesmaid and Mike Arsnean was best man. The event was celebrated by a long continuous blast of locomotive whistle and the joyous ringing of the bell. The newly married couple are well known in Oconto. [7]

Family 1 EDWARDS, Esther Married 10 Jan 1922 Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois [8, 9] Divorced 24 Oct 1923 Merrill, Lincoln County, WIsconsin [10, 11] Notes - Clarence John Married
The marriage of Miss Esther Edwards to Clarence John, both of White Lake, was published in the Milwaukee papers last Friday among the Waukegan weddings. Clarence is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. V. H. John, former Crandon residents. The bride also has acquaintances in this city having visited here several times. Their local friends extend congratulations.
It appears that Esther was possibley pregnant when they married. I do not know if that was why they married as she was only about a month gone, this is calculating from marriage date to birth date of Marie. [8]
