MARRIKD bY AN ORDINARY
WOMAN ON THE VITvON
The story is told by the Fairbanks
Citizen oi a couple that were married
on the \ ukon oy an ordinary woman j
in private life. After some preliinin-!
ancs the story is thus related:
“The parties to a recent marriage
in the Koyukuk, Fdward Peterson, of
Nolan creek, and .Miss Maud Ander
son. of Seattle are now legally bound
in the bonds of matrimony. For when j
Thomas 1*. Wright was named com-!
missioner for the Koyukuk district the
Lcouple went to Wiseman and had him!
' marry them according to law.
flu* absence of an officer of the law j
or a minister of the gospel to perforin !
tin* ceremony made the common law j
marriage a necessity. H. J. McGinnis,
tin* former Koyukuk commissioner,
had resigned to go outside. Nobody
to perform the ceremony could be
found by Mr. Peterson, although he
started for Hetties, in the hope of be-1
ing able to head off Commissioner Mc
Ginnis and have the knot legally tied
j when his bride-to-be should arrive
there. Hut he reached Hetties too
late.
After the arrival of Miss Anderson
from Seattle the pair had a happy
thought. They decided that they,
would go down the river to the Alatna
mission and be married. Much to
their consternation, however, they
! were told b\ Mrs. W illiam Glenn that
there was no minister at the mission,
after they had completed the first J
hundred miles of their journey down
stream.
“ ‘There is nobody at the mission
with any more authority to marry
you than 1 have,’ said Glenn.
“ Then you’re elected,” said Peter
son, ‘If there is nobody in the coun

try with more authority to marry us
than you have, that’s all there is to
it.’
So on bended knee, before a woman
who asked the usual questions, these
two people called upon heaven to bear
witness to their solemn marriage
vows. Two prospectors, who were
located after much difliculty, acted as
witnesses to the ceremony.
Thus did Dan Cupid overcome the
ditticullies of two people who wanted
to get married and could not because
nobody was at hand to marry them.
The story is declared to be true, de
spite the fact that such things seldom
occur outside the covers of novels.”
