Player notes

Outside Coot's Chapel, John Marston meets Alma Horlick, an elderly woman waiting on what she says is her wedding day. Her intended husband, Peter Turner, has vanished, and she asks John to bring him back. Alma believes Peter is working at the saloon in Armadillo, so John rides there to trace the missing musician.

At the saloon, piano player Nathan Harling says he knows where Peter has gone, but demands payment for the information. He then offers another arrangement: his wife Rose has left him and is waiting at the Armadillo freight station. John may pay Nathan, or persuade Rose to return to him, by threatening her or taking her back to the saloon.

Nathan directs John to Odd Fellow's Rest in the desert. Among the graves, John finds Peter Turner's headstone. It records that Peter died from a blow to the head on January 15, 1894, some twenty years earlier. John is left with proof that Alma's absent groom cannot return.

Trivia

  • โ—†The title is taken from Matthew 19:6 and Mark 10:9, both from the King James Version of the Bible, and both verses teach against divorce.
  • โ—†If the player returns to Coot's Chapel after finding Peter's grave, Miss Horlick will be gone.
  • โ—†In the Undead Nightmare DLC, Alma Horlick appears as the "Boss" undead in Coot's Chapel and Peter Turner appears as the "Boss" undead at Odd Fellow's Rest cemeteries (during the mission "Get Back in That Hole, Partner").
  • โ—†After Marston carries Rose back to the saloon, she will sit down and start crying.
  • โ—†Pete's gravesite is still present in Red Dead Redemption 2, however, it is located on the left side of the graveyard near the entrance. His tombstone also does not say how he died as it does in the first game, nor does it bear the message at the bottom of the grave.

This mission shares a wiki page with others in its chain, so page-level facts are not attributed to it.
