John Leland Sybryandt married Miss
Grace Hickok, stenographer of this
city. In wedding the girl, young Sy-
brandt. 1t is said, cut himself off COM
pletely from his family, his father
having told him that the tying of
the knot would mean that he was cut
off forever.
The marriage of the couple was the
elimination of a love romance thut
began two years ago, and which was
interrupted by the bridegroom's faith
err, the Reverend w. II. Sybrandt, pas
tor of the lakewood Avenue Presby-
terrain Church. Miss Hickok was a
stenographer and she came of a
poor family. When the elder Sybrandt
saw that his son was smitten with
the girl. he called him into his studio
and told him that he was running his
prospects by contemplating matri-
mony with a girl of social circle be-
low the one in which he moved.
The son replied that he loved the girl,
that he didn't care about society and
that 1t was his intention to make her
his wife.
in order to break up the romance,
the elder Sybrandt took his son from
school and told him that he would
have to go to work.
"All right" the osn replied, that's
just what | want I'll be able to earn
enough money now to enable ME to
get married"
The clergyman, however, did not
intend that his son should earn suf-
ficient to enable him to get married,
and be obtained a position for him in
Ornston, Pa. The young mans sala-
ry was $40 a week, but he wrote to
the girl steadily and told her that as
soon as his pay was raised he would
return and make her his wife. For a
time young Sybrandt remained in the
position that his father had found for
him, and then he struck out for him
SELF His salary increased, and at
the end of two years he felt that he
was earning enough to support a. wife.
Returning to this city two days
ago, Sybrandt went to the home of
his father and told him that he had
come back to marry Miss Hickok. The
clergyman, it is said, told his son
that he was as much against the
match as he had been two years ago,
and that the tying of the knot meant
that the son had cut himself off from
his family forever.
II don't want to cut myself off |
from. you" the young man told his
father, but I'm going to marry the
girl"
For an hour Sybrandt pleaded with
his father to relent and to Officiate
at the wedding but the clergyman re-
fused The son went to the home of
the Reverend Doctor j. Milton Thomp-
son and asked him to tie the knox
He said he was willing to do so, and
last night the wedding took place in
the home of the bride. Only members
of the brides family were present,
and after the ceremony the couple
left here on a short honeymoon trip.
