They were married without the

Dicus and Sally May Grover. The
minister who performed the cere
mony, it is stated, questioned the
young couple closely as to age, and
being assured that all was rigl t,
united them in ma rimony. Thev
then returned to their respective
homes with the understanding that
the marriage was to be kept secret for
the present. The matter soon leaked
out, however, and their parents at

but finally relented and allowed the
young couple to enjoy their honey
moon amid peace and harmony.
