Toonerville Trolley -- If the Car Jumps the Track -- February 5, 2024

Petaluma Daily Morning Courier, 03-February-1924

I love Fontaine Fox's The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains.

Almost any small or out-of-the-way streetcar operation could be called a Toonerville Trolley.

TOONERVILLE TROLLEY 
SCENE OF WEDDING

Chico, Cal., Feb. 23 -- Harry H Scott, street car motorman, wanted to get married yesterday but he could not leave his car. 

He made an appointment with Judge Clyde Thomas to meet him at the end of the line to tie the knot. Judge Thomas was delayed and Scott could not wait. He took his fiancé and started back on his
run.

Enroute he picked up Justice of the peace J L Barnes and carried him and the girl, Miss Mary 
Partridge, to the other end of the line, where the marriage ceremony was performed. 

The happy pair spent the first day of their honeymoon riding back and forth.
