Charles NJ. Byyater and Nancy u. Gal
uher were married yesterday at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Van r. Pierson. at Columbia
City. by Justice CT the Peace w. s. Nc
c,iTiey. The bride and groom left early
this morning on the steamer Delta for
their home in jefferson county.
The wedding was rather on the romantic
order. Mr.. Rywater who is retired ma
rine engineer. bought a. ranch some years
ago In the wilds of jefferson county, and
moved on /; to pass his life in quietude
and happiness. but he became lonely in his
old age and decided to take 10 himself
companion.
As there were no women in his vicinity.
he sought the columns OF a matrimonial
journal three years ago. and at once re-
eeived reply from his present bride who
lived way down in Washington county,
Virginia. Photographs were exchanged.
and the lady was just ready to cross the
continent to meet her adorer. when some-
thing arose that caused them Ito declare
i off,.
Mr.. Bywater, by no means disconnected
renewed his advertisement, and found an
other correspondent. and another engage
nsent was made. but for some reason it
WAS never contaminated
Taking up the photograph of his first
correspondent, he decided that she suited
him best any way. and he wrote another
letter few days ago. The welded chains
OF love and the klondike excitement. to-
gether with the charms of Puget sound,
were too much for the fair Virginian this
time. and she came along with the cheap
rates. and they were married.
The groom gave his age as 81, and Mr.
Pisrson, answering for the bride, said that
she was only 81, but 1t is the second
marriage of each Of the contracting par
ties, II is not so novel. after all
