Married2072 1917 Jul 62072 at Fort Wayne, IN2072.

A lengthy biographical sketch2253 of William J Vesey, starting page 582 of The Pictorial History of Fort Wayne Indiana, Vol 2, includes a genealogical sketch of his lineage back to William of Braintree and a description of the immigration, emigrations and history of the Vesey branch of the Veazie/Vesey family. William's full name is listed in the marriage record2072 for her daughter Sarah (Sallie) to Cecil Max. In other newspaper articles by Fort Wayne newspapers, Sarah announced that there would be no attendants at the wedding. That may have been because there was no room as the description of her wedding (Fort Wayne Journal Gazette Oct 12 1911 p9) takes up a newspaper column, a list of the relatives and guests comprising nearly one-half that length. Among those mentioned as Sarah's relatives and guests: her sisters Margaret and Catherine; Mrs. Sarah J Vesey, grandmother; aunts Mrs Allen J Vesey and Mrs John Vesey; Mrs Pearl Max and Mr Harold Max of Muncie; Mr William H Vesey (prob her first cousin once removed, son of John B Vesey) of Chicago; and brother David Vesey, having come from Ann Arbor to be present.
