Mark Chamberlain was dating Sally Heaton and his brother Leo, was dating Cora Esplin. They all lived in Orderville and they planned a double wedding in the St. George Temple. They would go to St. George by way of the Honeymoon Trail which would take four or five days of travel. They planned to travel in a buggy which was also called a buckboard. This would be pulled by a team of horses. There would be five people in the party as one of the girls mothers would be their chaperone. They would be camping out for three of four nights so they would take hay and grain for the horses; food and personal belongings for five and bedding for two beds; the young men would sleep in one bed and the three ladies in the other. The buggy would really be loaded. They had eveything loaded and ready to go by evening, then all went to a social or meeting. Upon arriving home after dark they found the buggy missing. They found it on the town scales on Main Street. These scales were large enough to weigh wagon loads of goods. The wheels of the buggy were wired to the frame of the scales with the wire twisted tight and the ends cut short so they had to find pliers to get it loose. This wasnt easy as there were no street lights or flashlights. When they finally got the buggy back to the starting place, they found that axle grease had been daubed on the things they handled so they spent part of the night cleaning their best clothes. They left town about 4 a.m. the next morning. The back of the buggy seemed to sag a lot and they blamed it on the heavy load. It came light as they were going up the Mt. Carmel dugway and they found that the back wheels $"15 had been put on the front and the front wheels put on the back. The back wheels are about one foot higher than the front. This had made the back so much lower than it should have been. They didnt have a jack so they spent some time finding rocks to pile up and a pole to pry each side of the buggy up to change the wheels. They finally arrived in Washington. One of the girls had relatives there, and there was room in the house for the ladies to sleep that night. The young men could sleep in the bam. They spread out some hay and made their beds. The next momingthey found that there were lots of puncture burrs in the hay, so they spent hours picking the burrs out of their clothes and bedding. They did finally get to St. George and were married in the Temple, September 16, 1915. Both these marriages lasted a lifetime.
