  [S247] Newspaper Clipping, 17 Dec 1887. Wedding Bells. Our esteemed fellow citizen, and popular member of the Board of School Commissioners, Jesse A. Kirk, Esq., was married on Wednesday last to Mrs. Mary J. Truman at Rising Sun in this county. The wedding ceremony which was a private one and witnessed only by the immediate families of the contracting parties, was celebrated by the Rev. Dr. S. A. Gayley at the residence of the bride's daughter, Mrs. Ella R. Haines, wife of H.H. Haines, Esq., cashier of the National Bank ofRising Sun. More than usual interest attached to this wedding for the reason that both the bride and groom have been for years prominent in the social circles of their vicinity, and Heaven had vouchsafed them the dignity of being grandfather and grandmother, yet each recurring year of their lives has dealt with them so gently that time has not robbed either of them of the bloom or vigor of middle life. Mrs. Kirk before her marriage to Mr. Truman was the widow of a highly respected citizen of this county, the late Azariah Rittenhouse, who during his life conducted an extensive business at the Rising Sun. She is the daughter of the late Thomas Warner, of Penos Ivania, her four children being Mrs. S. W. Heston, wife of Dr. H. Heston, of West Grove, Pa., Mrs. V. H. Taylor, wife of D. M. Taylor, cashier of the National Bank of Oxford, Pa., Thomas W. Rittenhouse, of Kansas City, and Mrs. H. H. Haines, of Rising Sun. The groom Mr. Kirk has but one son, a highly esteemed citizen of this county, Mr. Mount E. Kirk, of the well-known hardware firm of M. E. and G. E. Kirk at Rising Sun and North East. The bridal couple after receiving the congratulations of their friends took the train for Washington where the honeymoon will be spent. Source: Cecil Whig
