Miss Maud Isbell of Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas and Mr. Ellsworth E. James of Northeast Overbrook were married at Lyndon Kansas on 11-30-1908. Miss Isbell spent some time in our town about the time of the Street Fair, and the acquantance, which we are told began somewhat accidentally, soon ripened in attachment, in fact, perhaps it would not be too much to say it was love at first sight. Mr. James is well known here, and makes a business of threshing during the season. His friends will extend a cordial welcome to his bride. We wish the young couple a long and happy married life. (copied this piece from Dec. 10-08 Overbrook paper at the Kansas State Historical Society Topeka Kansas) - Ellsworth and Maud took Ellsworth's cousin Gertrude Bryson Voorman's baby girl Laura Voorman into their home and cared for her as their own for several years. Laura's parents Gertrude and Jess Voorman separated. Jess took his older children and went West leaving Gertrude and her two youngest children Laura and Amy with Gertrude's mother Mary Bryson and brother John R. Bryson. Gertrude left and later remarried. Amy staying on with her grandmother and Uncle for several years then left.
Sometime after Ellsworth and Maud and Laura moved to Brainerd, Minnesota, Laura left them to go to her father in one of the Northwestern states.
