Under the title "Beauty, Industry, Economy, Etc. in "The Hancock Jerrersonian" on February 7, 1879 (Hancock County, Ohio) listed the best looking married man in town as Capt. J. Westcott. It went on to list the best looking married woman, the best looking young man and woman, the prettiest school marm and the sweetest singer.

How would you like the task of picking a list like this today?
