No Barrier To Sweethedrts
Of Childhood Days

Canton, Ohio, September 19-
Young women employees at the Stark
county court house, here, think the
limit has been reached. They arrived
at this decision when George Berry,
rs years old, of Jackson County. o.,
and Mrs. Sarah Blackburn, IS years
old of Osnaburg, o.. stepped into the
Probate Office today and requested a
marriage license, thereby shattering
anything which heretofore has been
classed as a record in this line.
Miss Emma Williams. license clerk,
betrayed her excitement and asked
Berry to repeat the ages. He did,
and then went on to tell the story.
AS children Berry and Mrs. Black
burn played together. AS young
people they went to spelling bees to-
gether. Then Mrs. Blackburn mar
ried Georges brother Ernest. Shortly
afterward Berry was welded to an
other young woman.
Mrs. Blackburn'5 husband died
some years ago, and some time later
she and Mr.. Blackburn got a license
to wed. The end of the story came
when Berry and Mrs. Blackburn found
themselves single once more several
months ago. and decided 1t was not
