Sometime from the past

Last night I was watching the Hallmark channel about a man whose wife had died and he put an add in the newspaper for a woman to be his wife and the mother of his 2 kids.
This add took a very long time to travle to get to this women. He lived out west in farm land and she in Boston. There were no phone,and you travled by horse or coach. And of course they fell in love and got married .Now,isn't it funny how many people had a fit about those of us who use internet dating,and look where we got it from.
Does anybody remember mail order brides?
