The parties were respectively Miss Luella Fitch and Eph Wetherwax [sic], both residents in the neighborhood above stated. The funniest part of the transaction was, that the girl who so longed to be a bride, escaped from her father while riding home with him by jumping out of the wagon and vanished into the darkness of the evening." Ephraim Walter Weatherwax, son of Jeremiah Weatherwax/Witherwax and Elsa Ann Richardson, born in 1856 Michigan. Parents left Michigan for Dakota Territory in 1870s and by 1880 were across the river in Holt County, Nebraska. By 1887 Ephraim had changed his name to Walter Braten.
