Marriage
This was a Double Wedding. Oscar and Grace along with Grace's sister Sarah and her husband, Robert E. Ross. Both couples were married on 14 Sept 1910 by Rev. A. W. Murphy. I would surmise that the wedding took place in the home at the George Foulke Farm since both the daughters were getting married.First Marriage for both

[1] Why are Auctioneers referred to as Colonel?
Civil War Era
Have you ever heard an auctioneer referred to as “Colonel?” It’s a fairly common practice, especially at auction schools across the country. This came about during the Civil War era, a time when auctions were beginning to flourish.
History has it that the art of auctioneering was a common practice for Civil War Colonels who regularly auctioned off the spoils of war and surplus. However, only officers of the Colonel rank could conduct them, spawning the use of the term “Colonel” by many auctioneers still today.
A short historical narrative from one of the top auction schools details this process: “As the Civil War progressed, many troop battalions made a practice of seizing property of land owners and merchants as they marched. Contraband would be collected and carried to a favorable area, then the Colonel or commanding officer would sell the goods at public sale. Even after the Civil War, military Colonels traveled to sell surplus goods and seized goods. Auctioneers followed some of the same trails and dressed similar to army Colonels to such an extent that the public began to recognize auctioneers as 'Colonel.’
