A Romantic Marriage
Runaway Couple From Vershire Married in Barre.
Fred Straw and Edith Lake of Vershire drove to this city yesterday, the former with an official-looking document tucked in the inner pocket of his coat on the left side. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Fred Straw drove away, and there-in lies a pretty romance, for a runaway marriage took place in this city last evening, at the home of Mrs. E. H. Jones, a girlhood friend of the bride. The Rev. W. A. Kinsie of the Baptist church was the clergyman who united the fugitive, and happy, pair.
Since the bride was a little girl attending school she had been a favorite of the groom who is eleven years her senior, and as the years passed the friendship developed into love. And the love was reciprocated. But parental authority frowned upon the match and did everything possible to discourage the girl from keeping company with the man who now is her husband in spite of all obstacles. In fact, the parents looked askance at all suitors of the girl, But Fred Straw was persistent, and perhaps he received encouragement from the woman who is now his wife.
On Sunday, the two made their plans to get married. The bride to be went from church to the home of an aunt and remained there over night. Yesterday her lover started ostensibly on a carriage trip with a male companion, but he made a detour to the house of the girl's aunt, where the male companion left the team and the girl took his place. And then started the elopement in broad daylight to this city. On their arrival here, their mission having been made known, arrangements were at once made for the marriage and the minister summoned. The marriage took place at half past seven o'clock, being quietly carried out.
Then the couple stole quietly away and had almost started their honeymoon when a party of friends descended upon them and gave a rousing send-off on a wedded life so romantically started. They drove last night to the home of the groom's uncle in East Montpelier, and there they will arrange for the next move. The groom is 32 years of age and the bride, a very pretty and modest young woman, is 21 years old. They are popular young people of Vershire, where the groom is engages as a teamster.
The father and mother of the bride were married in much the same manner as their daughter was last night, and no doubt the parental blessing will be forthcoming.
