Posted 14 May 2013 by Keatting
Mrs. H.G. Booth of Hebron has returned home after a six weeks visit with friends and relatives in Wisconsin and Iowa. She first visited her sister Mrs. B.J. McDowell at Mt. Sterling for two weeks. From there accompanied by her sister she went to Soldiers Grove, Wis., where they were guests of her nephew Dr. Arch McDowell. Then they went west to Nory Springs, Iowa where they spent three weeks the guests of her brother, Nealy Nelson, who went west from Potter County over thirty years ago. Mr. Nelson has a beautiful farm of eight hundred acres of the finest kind of tillable land. While there Mrs. Booth accompanied by her sister and Mr. Nelson and his wife made a trip to Mason City iowa. While in Coudersport Tuesday, Mrs. Booth made the Democrat a visit. In her conversation she stated that the crops were extra large in the west. She also stated that if she was a man and her some was not here, she never would have returned to Potter. If a farmer wants to raise crops Iowa is the state in which to locate.
LATE ROMANCE IN LIFE
Posted 14 May 2013 by Keatting
Bride is Sixty-Four and Groom Seventy-two
It is said that people are never old so long as they retain sentiment and romance in their natures and yesterday saw the culmination of a pretty romance in the prothonotary's office at the court house. A year ago, Emma D. Booth visited friends in Mt. Sterling, Crawford County, Wisconsin and while there she became acquainted with Marcus F. Nickerson, a well to do farmer. A friendship sprang up between them and after Mrs. Booth returned home she received a letter from Mr. Nickerson saying he would like to come here to spend a week or so, as he would like again to meet her. She consented and he came and yesterday they were married in the Prothonotary's office by Rev. J.F. Leffler. The groom is seventy-four years old and the bride sixty-four. Mrs. Nickerson is a cousin of Nelson Monroe, of East Hebron, for whom she had kept house for some time, and she is the mother of Samuel Booth, of Coudersport. Mr. Nickerson is a fine appearing gentleman and the Enterprise with other friends, extends best wishes.

Mrs. Emma Nickerson Passed Away Saturday Night at Home of Daughter, Mrs. John Schollard
Saturday night at the home of Mrs. John Schollard occured the death of her mother, Mrs. Emma D. Nickerson
In her youth, Mrs. Nickerson, was married to Hugh Schollard (She was married to Hugh Booth, not Hugh Schollard) and after several years of widowhood she was married six years ago to Marcus Nickerson and went with him to his home in Mt. Sterling, Wis., where she resided until she became so ill from diabetes that her death seemed only a question of a short time when her daughter, Mrs. Schollard went to Mt. Sterling and her mother accompanied her home. She spent two weeks in Olean where she was treated by Dr. W.B. Potter and arrived at the daughter's home in Hebron on the 9th of July.
