Edmond James Beazley and his wife, Mary, were married in October of 1914 in Christian, Kentucky. Use the "MH: Kentucky Newspapers, 1791-2009" QUIKLink below to find a newspaper article detailing their wedding and giving valuable genealogical information:
- What was Mary Beazley's maiden name?
- Who were her father and grandfather?
- Where was Edmond Beazley from?
- What was the date and place of their marriage?
- Who were Mary Beazley's sisters?
- In the name search fields, type "Edmond James Beazley" along with an event location of "Christian, Kentucky" and "1914" as the event year.
- Mary Beazley's maiden name was Mary Thomas Garrott.
- She was the daughter of Squire W.W. Garrott and the granddaughter of E.H. Garrott.
- Edmond Beazley was from Marianna, Arkansas.
- The marriage took place on 6 October 1914 at the home of Mary's grandfather in Oak Grove, Kentucky (*the newspaper was published on 8 Oct 1914 and stated that the marriage took place on 'Tuesday.' A Google search confirms that 8 Oct 1914 was a Thursday, therefore the wedding must have taken place on the 6th.)
- Mary Beazley's sisters were: Mrs. J.W. Pollard, Jr. of Raton, NM, and Elizabeth Garrott.
