Grandma anbd Grandpa Shelton were married 74 years ago on Sep 9, 1933 in Fairfield, IL. Grandpa's brother, Pirl, was supposed to stand up for them that day, but never showed up. They were married at a minister's home onthe corner of SW 7th and Center St. the house was torn down a number of years ago and I never got a picture of it.
