  [S163] Ogden Standard Examiner, (Utah Digital Newspapers), 8 (Reliability: 3), 06 Sep 1899. MUST HAVE A GUARDIAN ________________ AND THEN HE CAN BE MARRIED- OTHERWISE NOT. ________________ Arthur Burnett, of Clinton Davis county, appeared at the clerk’s office this afternoon, and applied for a marriage license to wed Miss Nettie Nelson of Riverdale. Burnett is but 18 years of age and the young lady is but 16 years old. The father of the girl appeared to give his consent to the marriage, but the young man is fatherless and motherless and has no guardian. They were informed that the license could not be issued until a guardian is appointed and they will see Judge Rolapp at 5 o’clock, when the girl’s father will probably be appointed guardian of the prospective husband.

Dr. Herbert Cunningham, who was reputed to be one of the best in the bunch at the spelling bee, balked at the first word given out and was sent the first word given out and was sent to his seat when he failed to spell the third word put to him. Press Atwood could not spell Chicago, and John King put an “I� where the “e� should have been in bullet. John Lawrence put the “l� before the “e� in nickel; Arthur Burnett put a “a� for “w� in frown and Harper Boyd spelled pew “pue.� Mrs. W. H. Jefferson, who was the best speller for the town side, missed the word cuckoo, while Prentice Thomas, Mrs. Robert Crenshaw and others missed words equally simple. – Cadiz Record This is Arthur Burnett's son that was named after him.
