From PostDispatch.1
Raging storms, railing friends
and sleepy clergymen could not pre-
vent, though they did delay, the
marriage of Semple S. Scott and
Miss Girlie Johnston, who, succeed
ing in their second attempt at
elopement, we're married in Clayton
at 100 o'clock in the morning.
So determined were the clippers to
steal a march on their friends that
Miss Johnston sought to disguise
her plans by wearing golf jacket.
They walked mile and half in
the dark, taking a circuitous route
to Clayton to avoid meeting their
friends.
Mr.. Scott belongs to the exclusive

ly. His bride is a native of Union
City, Tenn, and, with her mother,

The subject of this sketch was
born in Pittsburg, Pa, March IA
1841, age 63 years; departed this
life August 7, 1904 was united in
marriage to Robt. HELEN OF Col.
chester, England, August 5, 1855,
at Pittsburg, Pa. This union was
blessed with one daughter, long
since dead. Mrs. HELEN was united
in the Christian church and lived
in that faith for thirty years, and
after life of faithful devotion size
was prepared to answer the sum-
mons that came from on high that
she should bid farewell to all of
earth and 60 to her reward. For
twenty years | have known Mrs.
Sarah HELEN personally as an in
innate dear friend and in the serv-
ices of the blessed master where
we have labored together so often.
In the spring Mrs. HELEN was
afflicted with muscular rheumatism
for three months; of this she re-
covered only then to contract ty-
phoid fever. She grew from August
l to the 9th steadily worse until
Saturday night, when on Sunday at
2. 80 she passed to the bright and
glorious life of the eternal beyond
after three months suffering
agonies untold.
She was a kind friend and neigh
Dor, faithful, loving wife, good
christian woman of reserve nature.
Her loss here on earth is Heavens
gain. Loved ones grieve not for this
loved departed one, for she is safe
in the arms of Jesus on the happy
golden shore where the faithful
ones part no more.
Mrs. Hellen's remains were laid
to rest in the Fremont cemetery
mid large concourse of loving
friends. DR., A. S. Dabney, once
pastor of the First Christian
church in this city for six years.

sorrow stricken husband. two sis
tiers in Pennsylvania and one niece
and several relatives are left not to
mourn her loss but to live to fol-
low her steps with the Saviour, for
they know she is in Heaven and
they should mourn her not.

ried last Friday After leaving a
party of friends at one Of the sum
mer gardens, they boarded car for
the county seat, but before they
reached their journeys end the
storm set in with such force that
they returned to the city without
getting out of the car. The ele-
ments, although serving to frus-
trate the plans of the couple for the
time, did not discourage them, and
they only awaited another oppor-
tunity.
CAR SCHEDULES ALSO IN THE WAY.
Monday evening they had a
chance to carry out their plans
After spending the evening with
friends, they boarded an Olive street
car to go to Clayton. When they
reached the end of the car line,
however, they learned that the car
did not 60 to Clayton, and they
were compelled to return consid-
cradle part of the distance they had
already travelled in order to get a
Clayton-bound car.
They were yet to meet with new
embarrassments in the shape of in
quiring friends, who were on the
second car. AS the car neared the
county seat these friends began
asking pertinent questions. They
discussed the hour, which was then
II o'clock, and the fact that Clay
ton, the haven of clipping couples,
was the destination to which the
car was moving.
Mr.. Scott replied to the railleries
of his friends by pointing to Miss
Johnston's golf jacket and declaring
that they were going to the Country
Club.

car were not going as far as the

But he was discounted to find
the friends not only rode as far as
the club, but some of them we're
headed for the club itself.
TOOK ROUNDABOUT COUNTRY ROAD.
1t remained for the couple to leave
the car and go into the clubhouse
to make good their bluff. At the
club they partook of some refresh
ments with their friends, and then
managed to excuse themselves as
gracefully as they could under the
circumstances, and after slipping
from the clubhouse they resumed
their journey to Clayton.
This time they travelled by foot,
and not wishing to take the slight
est chance of meeting any further
obstacles, they walked in the oppo-
site direction until a cross road was
reached, The night was dark and
the roads rough, but they made
their way in a roundabout route to

nearing the hour of when they
nervously approached the grim
looking structure.
