The Romantic Marriage Of This Couple
Took Place Saturday Night-A
Parting and Reconciliation.

Fred Roberts, Of st. Louis, . son Of
d. NJ. Roberts, living 9 miles south
wsst Of Mexico, and Miss Matte Cum
ningham, who lives with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. O. G. Cunningham, on
South Clark avenue, near the Oatho-
lie Church, were married by Rev. DR..
j. B. Hawkins at his residence on
East Liberty street at 5 O'Clock Sat-
urday afternoon.
The marriage was a total surprise
to the Soung lady's family and they
were naturally wrought up over the
sudden event, on recount Of the age
of both parties. After the ceremony
the couple went to the home Of the
bride where an interview was had
with the mother and brother OF the
bride. The brother, Claude, espec-
tally resented the wedding on account
Of the youth Of both contracting par
ties. The groom is not yet 81 and the
bride Is barely Of age.
The talk was continued until almost
daylight Sunday morning and 1t was
finally concluded to see II the mar
rage could be annuIled. The BRIDES
brother went to Lawyer Fry's home
ct s o'clock Sunday morning to seek
his advice. BE informed the young
man that the matter could be adjusted
only by a decree of divorce by the
court.
Sunday night the youthful groom
returned to East st. Louis to resume
his work in the stock yards aud to
await the pleasure of his wife's par.
ents.
Monday, after much talking with
attorneys, IL was decided that the
child wife might write for her lover
husband TO come for her. Mrs. Gun
ningham, mother of the bride, and
D. M. Roberts, father Of the groom,
proved to possess the cooler heads
and decided that the reconciliation
would be the better plan. Mr.. Rob-
erts had given his consent to the
marriage before 1t took place.
The LEDGER extends congratula-
tons to the young couple and hopes
to see them as successful in ell things
as they were in their wedding.
Both of these young people are Of
good families and r most popular
with all who know them. All parties
concerned have come to q most sem
slble conclusion and we predict Q
most happy and prosperous life for Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Roberts.

The men who did the work were I'M
