Wewt.
Irrelevant anecdote: At the Cracker Barrel near my house that I eat at now and again, there hangs on the wall an antique marriage certificate from the 1800's. I'd need to go and look at it again to get the particulars, but my Google-fu allowed me to track down this couple and see how the house where they lived in Cincinnati over a century ago is doing these days.
Spoiler alert: So-so. It's still standing, but doesn't seem to be in a great part of town.

It is no wonder that the white men and women in Greenville walk with a slow, dragging pride, as if they had taken up a challenge and intended to defy it without end." -- Rebecca West for The New Yorker, 1947
