The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1876-07-06

For some time past the papers through
out the country have been publishing
the folio wing item, which was set afoat
by the indianapolis Journal
"A Boston girl and her mother, who
are stopping at one of the hotels in this
city, came West in search of young
German, to whom the daughter became
very much attached while spending a
few months in Europe with her parents
some two years ago. The last they
heard of the young man was that he
had como to Indianapolis. He is said
Co be poor but we'll educated, and the
| parties in search of him are very
wealthy"
1t was the good fortune of a Blade
reporter, who heppened to be at the de-
pot Just before the departure of the
Western train which carried the above
mentioned party on their journey to-
ward indianapolis, to become acquainted
with the young lady and her mother.
The young lady is Miss Mary NJ. Coch-
/ ran, Of Boston. She Is a remarkably
fine looking person, apparently twenty
| one or two years of age. She was
very stylishly dressed, and presented a
most interesting appearance, Through
| the courtesy of one of the railroad of.
| fcers who was acquainted with them,
| an introduction was obtained, and very
/ pleasant interview followed. 1t seems
! that two years ago this spring, Miss
| Cochran, accompanied by her moth er
| and a number of friends from Boston
went to Europe ts spend the summer.
! During brief stay in Carlsruhe, Ger
many, Miss Cochran became acquainte
with a young German named Charles A.
! Brandenb burg He was young man Of
great ability, we'll educated and of re-
spectacle parentage, although they were
quite poor. The many noble quail
tiles Of heart and head completely won
| the heart of the young American, and
| she fell completely in love with him,
/ This feeling was mutual, and during the
interviews the young man related the
| condition of affairs at his fathers house.
| The family was in the hands of a cruel
| house-OWner, who not only owned the
/ house in which they lived, but was also
proprietor of the mills in which the
| father, son and brother earned their
/ scantv pittance. On account Of s0m e
| difficulty which had occurred sOGle years
| before, this man, whose name was Stein
mann, cherished a deadly hatred against
| the Brandenburg family. So deep was
/ this hatred that he would do everything
in his power to keep them down, al
| though some of the greatest improve
ments in his mill had been made by the
elder BFandenouTg. He so exercised
! his authority that they were kept IN
poverty and every effort they made to
better their fortune was OYGrthroWn by
the relentless landowner. At last
Charles, the elder son, determined to
come to America and try to do something
to help himself and family in this
| country.
Such was the state of affairs when the
young American lady knew him first
and loved him. Two months after they
plighted their trotb, and Brandenburg
sailed for Amerca. Soon after Miss
Cochran returned to Boston. A cor
respondence was kept up for over year
following their separation. The young
German, who had been working IN New
Y York and Philadelphia, set out for the
| West, and the letters came less frequent
ly, and finally there were none at all
During all this time the young lady
who was pretty and accomplished
enough to have won the hearts of a
score of admirers even In rigid upright
old Boston, remained true to her first
| love. When she heard no more Of her
lover she was almost crazy, and as the
time. grew on, her suspense became a.
most insupportable. At last, about two
weeks ago, she learned through round.
about way that the object of her affec
ton was in indianapolis. Slender az
the hope was, she determined to ascer-
tain the truth of the report. So she
and her mother left Boston for Indian
apOlIs.
Miss Cochran said that she was bound
to find her lover, and if he cherished
the same sentiments he did two years
ago, when they last met, and seven
months ago, when she Tecsived her last
letter, there would be a marriage; and
she lsughingly invited her interviewer
to be present-an invitation he ae-
oepted at once. Assisting the perserv
ing damsel and her mother on the train
and wis hing them success, the reporter
watched the westward-bOund train rel
away with a sincere hope that she
might not be disappointed In hel
search.
The wish was gratifed and the young
couple who loved each other devotedly
are now united for life, as the follow ing

25th, will show:
