From
last week’s St. Clair County Republican: At the close of the services
at the Baptist church last Sunday evening a genuine surprise was given
those who chanced to be lingering a few moments after the close of the
services, the announcement being made that the pastor, Rev. M. C.
Humphrey, and Miss Julia Higgins had been married while in Springfield
the day previous. They promptly “owned up” and received hearty
congratulations. While Rev. Humphrey was at Iconium to conduct a
funeral during the hour for the morning service the church took up the
matter of calling a pastor for the ensuing year, Rev. Humphrey’s time
being up, and extended a call for his services for another year. To
this must be added that the Osceola school was in dire need of another
teacher and he had been approached to see if he would consider the
matter of both preaching and teaching. He concluded he would, hence on
Monday morning he took his place as instructor in the high school. He
has been pastor of the Baptist church during the past year and during
that time has endeared himself to his church associates as well as
many of our citizens not so identified. His bride is the oldest
daughter of Prof. and Mrs. C. E. Higgins of this city, and has made
her home here for a number of years. She, too, is a teacher in our
schools, is a very capable young lady and enjoys the esteem of all.
