Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-18

The romantic adventures of a son of
Los Angeles people is told in the follow
ing special dispatch to the San Francisco
Examiner.
CHICAGO, April 15.-Dispatches from
Milwaukee confirm the often-denied
report that Nolan Hathaway and Miss
Henrietta Bowen, the millionairess of
Delphi, were secretly married in that
city February 8th.
The groom's parents reside at Los An
geles, California, and his career has been
somewhat romantic, while the fortune
of the bride has brought her already
into more prominence than she desired.
AS one of the heirs of the late Abner H.
Bowen, who are said to have gathered
$2,000,000 worth of stocks, bonds and
securities and carried them away from
Delphi to escape taxation, her fortune
and herself have been extern
sively discussed. 1t was owing
to this circumstance that the
wedding was not revealed even
to the most intimate friends. Hath
away declined to osay anything about it
when questioned today, asserting that
his private affairs could be of no inter-
est. However, Rev. Sabin Halsey, the
minister who performed the marriage
ceremony, has told the fact.
Six years ago Hathaway was clerk
in Lafayette, and his salary went for
clothes. His voice won him a way into
society, and it attracted the attention of
Mrs. F. G. Sumner, widow of the 'Ben-
ton County Cattle King" She took a
decided fancy to the clerk, and at once
made him her private secretary and
business manager of her immense land
ed property. Since that time Hath
away has had smooth sailing. In Mrs.
Summers Prairie avenue mansion in
this city, the finest suit of rooms is his.
He has been all these years her con-
fidential adviser, virtually her son, and
prospective heir. He has lucrative
position also with ]. V. Farwell & Co.
