Aged Man Marries Housekeep-
err, Though Sons object.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune

Orange, n. j., Nov. LIN spite OF the
efforts of his children to prevent his
wedding, John Hanson, seventy-hVe
years old, was married tonight to his
housekeeper, Mrs. Annie Sherman, at
the parsonage Of the First German
Presbyterian Church Orange, by the
Rev. Herman c. Gruhnert. The bride
age is seventy-seven.
His two married sons took steps TO
dissuade him from having the cere-
mony performed. They said he was IN
fatuated and would regret the step.
Mr.. Hanson declined to be turned from
his purpose, so the sons appealed 10
the registrar who had issued the mar
rage license and to Chief Of Police
William II. Bagford They were told
that the only way was to appeal 70
some civil authority. The latter action
evidently was not taken.
Mr. Hanson's first wife died three
years ago. He tried housekeeping
alone for a while, but soon had to APP
zeal to his next door neighbor, Mrs.
Sherman. They got better acqua!..,ed
and the romance followed.
