The following item we take from the Burnett, (Neb.) Blade:  Married, at Emerick, Neb., Thursday, Dec. 13, 1888, Mr. A.J. Dunlevy, of Burnett, and Miss Anna L. Coulter, of Afton, N.Y.  Rev. Kimball, of Madison, officiating.  The contracting parties are both well and favorably known in Burnett, and in behalf of their many warm friends here this paper extends congratulations.  Mr. Dunlevy is the popular cashier of the Tilden State Bank at this place, and few young men stand higher in the favor of this community. The bride for the past year has been one of Madison county's popular teachers, in which capacity she gave universal satisfaction.  The happy couple have gone to house keeping in the brick block formerly occupied by Mr. Dunlevy and his mother.  May the light of happiness always shine in this little home in the sincere wish of the Blade.
