Emily C. Bancroft and William A. Hobson.
To settle a much disputed question among old-timers as to who was the first couple married in Valley county the writer offers the following taken from the county records: Nels A. Anderson (age. 29) and Johanna Mortensen (age 22), married by Elder Oscar Babcock, July 6, 1873; Wm. A Hobson (age 27) and Emily C. Bancroft (age 17), married by Elder I. A. Bristol, August 10, 1873. The dispute originated is the fact that Mr. Anderson neglected to take out a license to marry.
