    Mrs. J.C. CURRIER, who resides at 309 N. Olive street, this city, justly takes a keen pride in furnishing us a photo of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russel B. DUTTON, who were united in marriage on June 27, 1844, by ABRAHAM LINCOLN when the great president was justice of the peace in Nauvoo, Illinois. After the ceremony was performed the happy couple had scarcely left the altar when the news came that Joseph SMITH, the famous Mormon leader, had been killed by a downtown mob, and as was frequently the case, the non-Mormon contingent, to which the newlyweds belonged, fled for safety, taking to some hiding place such belongings as were easily portable. Mrs. CURRIER treasures the photo from which the likeness herewith was reproduced, very highly, and as the venerable old couple had many relatives in this vicinity, we are glad to give space and mention to this interesting incident.
