q WAR Roma NCE
That Was Begun in Newb >rn Some
Forty Years Ago

Forty Years Ago.
a war time romance which was BE-
gun IN Ntwb,rn In 1862 bad happy
ending in New York few days ago.
An account Of it is given in the New
York World:
Gof-U 'mer,-In this city, October
s, 1904, Dr.. Cleveland Willis Golf, OF
New York cisy, to Mrs. jane Lawson
Ulner, OF Savannah, Ca, by the Rev.
William B. Tower, pastor OF the
Washngt n Square Methodist church.
By the foregoing annouG cement,
published in the Herald, many friends
OF a physician well known in his forty
y ars' practice in this city, will o,
surprised that an elderly man, long
ago given up as a hopeless bachelor,
has taken unto himself a wife. Few
will know that it also marks the gco5
story book ending OF va, time 70
maDce. beginning in Newbern, N. c.,
in 1862. 1t does rot lose it's interest
because Mrs. Gof, herself white
haired, told it last night.
Dr.. Gcf, whose Office is at No. II
East Sixteenth street, was a young
physician in Roches ster when the call
to arms came in 1861. He enliste3
| in the Tnird New York cavalry known
as Van Allen c.y Try, serving fist as
quarte1master then rising to the rank
Of captain, aud later do ng duty as
surgeon.
Dr. Gof was with the army that
occupied NeWbern. n. c., in 1862.
There be met Miss Jane Lawson:
daughter OF local merchant, and,
needless to say, very arient sympa-
5hizer Of the S.u-hern cause. Tne
young surgeon fell in love with her.
II am sure that my treatment OF
Dr.. Golf was not the kindliest," said
bis wife last night. In those days,
OF course, we could see nothing gooo
in the Yankees. But be was pe.sis
tent"
There was young Confederate Of.
fcer in the case at that tine. He
was James Ulner and be was also in
love with Miss Lawson. That MADE
Dr.. COTS suit impossible and be was
told SO plainly. What be said when
be learned this was not revealed last
night, but he continued to urge his
suit, even after the war closed. That
was all ended when, few years after
the war, Miss Lawson became Mrs.
Ulm.r and moved to Savannah,
where her husband went into busi-
ness.
DR.. Golf returned to New York and
began the Practice Of medicine. He
had many patients, amasse1 a ccm.
Portable fortune, travelled extensively
and in the opinion Of his friends was
a man whose heart had never been af.
fected by any woman.
