Handwritten notes on Richard Jackson's Owen Stoneking family group sheet: "It was a very cold 11 January 1911. Owen had borrowed his brother-in-law's horse and buggy. Owen and wife-to-be, Inez Wells, made the long travel into the town of Macomb, Illinois, only to find out that they could not get a license of marriage because Inez was only seventeen years of age. They travelled all the way back to Inez's home to get her mother to witness the ceremony. Inez was wearing a dark green dress, a dark coat and high laced shoes. Owen had on overalls and shirt and a knit scarf around his neck. After the wedding, Owen returned the horse and buggy and they immediately got busy helping deliver Owen's sister, Mamie's, baby."
