Kate's Notes: What is odd about this marriage announcement is that in the very same paper, on the same date, this marriage was also listed as the Harris -Gilleland marriage. I didn't quite know what to make of this until I found an obituary for Dora, the wife of John Harris Scanlen. This obituary is also in the library's collection.
