Old-fashioned boy meets girl. Boy travels from Illinois in a covered wagon before settling in central Nebraska. At a lawn party, William H. Ferguson makes the acquaintance of one Myrtle Likes from Aurora. Although he is almost 12 years her senior, a match is made. Just over one year later, they are married. The year is 1887.
