This one caught my eye.....at least she is honest..and wants a photo..
"A young lady of 18, wealthy, pretty and agreeable, wants a husband. Not finding any one of her acquaintance who suits her, she has concluded to take this method of discovering one. The happy gentleman must be wealthy, stylish, handsome and fascinating. None other need apply. Address within three days, giving name and full particulars, and enclosing carte de visite, Carrie Howard, Station D, New York.
June 5, 1863"
Interesting. This doesn't surprise me. I figured there had to be some sort of personals from times long past. It's just cool to actually see examples.
