New Yorkers Wed.
jeremiah c. Falvey, twenty-five years
old, and Miss Carolyn G. Pierce, aged
twenty-six, both of New York city,
were married in Rockville last evening
by Rev. Samuel r. White. That the
young people were able to obtain a Ii
cese despite the rule against issuing
such papers after the regular closing
hour of the Office was due to the fact
that they happened to catch a deputy
clerk at his desk. They came out from
the city in an automobile, accompanied
by several friends, and returned inn
mediately after the ceremony.
