On this day 118 years ago, my husband's great uncle Hugh Benjamin McClure (1882-1960) married Olivette Van Roe (1885-1905). The groom was 20, the bride was 17.
Winter Wedding Weather in Wabash
What was the weather like on that wedding day in 1902?
I found a bit of info on weather.gov (see image at top from my result here).
Also I used newspaper sources to research the weather on that wedding day.
The free Hoosier State Chronicles site has an issue of the Indianapolis Journal from that date--and on page 2, the weather forecast indicates below-average temperatures for that month and for that year.
I sure hope Hugh Benjamin and Olievette bundled up warmly for their winter wedding!
Understanding the weather and other elements in their lives helps me envision their activities at a time and place so far removed from my own.
This is my #52Ancestors post for week 51, with a prompt of "winter."
