Misc. Notes
Newspaper article:
Mrs. Gladys Frasier, 63, of Rice Lake, and Alfred Ellsworth of Ranier, Minn., one of the few remaining veterans of the Civil war in Koochiching county, were married on August 2 at International Falls by L.P. Lemieux, a court commissioner. The couple will make their residence in Ranier.
Mr. Ellsworth told the commissioner that he and his bride had known each other for 44 years and that he was sure they were both of the required legal age. He visited Rice Lake while working with the crew which put through the North Western railroad and knew Mr. Frasier, who was similarly employed then.
Recently he visited Mrs. Frasier in Superior, where she was visiting, and it is believed that their decision to be married was reached then.
