The Chariton Couirer, 6 August 1909, ran a humorous story involving Edward Kuhler. He and two friends found a milk bottle stalled in the shallows of the Chariton river When they opened the bottle, they found a letter, dated the month before, addressed to "My Dear Brunette." The letter purported to be from a certain young woman in Keytesville (whose name the newspaper chose to exclude) who hoped the target of her affections would send a letter in reply. The newspaper story described Edward as "a miserable ... old bachelor" who was taking the message in the bottle seriously, although why the message should be for him specifically was not explained. "He is now putting in all of his spare time practicing at making go-goo eyes, reading poetry, and searching for endearing terms, and there is no tellling what may come of that touching and tender billetdoux in a bottle." Evidently, nothing came of it, as the Chariton Courier did not print a sequel. In November 1919, Edward married Miss Gertrude Faye Bradshaw, whom the paper described as "a young woman of splendid attainments, thoroughly domestic in taste and practice, wholly interested in the life and interests of those with whom she is associated."
