Marriage Notes for Lemuel C. Garrison and Mahala Payne
Marriage recorded in different reference 3 Jul 1870 in Washington Twp, Newton County, Indiana
Story told by M. J. Camp---In early covered wagon days L. J. and Jane Camp were passing by Garrison's home by covered wagon. Had sick children, and called to them from the yard to say hello, but they wouldn't come in because of the illness they didn't want to spread. Julia and James insisted they come in. Their children were exposed to the illness and Garrison's blamed Camps for many years for the serious illness (Diphtheria or something similar) that their children contracted.
Question about death date. One reference says Alice was living in Laura, Illinois in 1895 when her mother died. Other reference says Ruth died before 1880.
