UNTRUE. NURSE SAYS
Miss Dorothy Warren De-
MES Published Announce
ment of Marriage
COMES AS CLIMAX
OF MANY REPORTS

A series of mysterious reports and
rumors heard at intervals of six months
during the last two years, announc-
ing the marriage of Miss Dorothy War
rem, a resident nurse at the Jefferson
Hospital. whose home is in Camden,
this State, and Fred Oechsler, former
resident of the same town, and believ-
ed to live in Baltimore, now reached a
climax when a formal announcement
Of the marriage appeared in Della
ware paper This announcement was
followed by the insertion OF a notice
by Miss Warren, denying the truth OF
the announcement.
Miss Warren today said that she
had at last succeeded in tracing the
reports to their source. but she does
not intend at present to take any
steps to have the offender punished.
She said the reports had caused her
much embarrassment. and that there
was no foundation for them.
Miss Warren. who was graduated
from the Jefferson Training school a
year ago, said she and Oechsler went
TO school together in Camden, but that
since then, several years ago, she has
not even seen him.
According to reports from Camden,
Oechsler worked in a canning factory
there after leaving school. but went
to Baltimore some years AGO. Miss
Warren said she had merely been on
speaking terms with Oechsler when at
school. It was while she was at the
Jefferson Training School here that
the first rumor of her marriae was
circulated in several towns in Della
ware where she had friends.
Later other reports to the same eff
feet persisted. despite denials, and
Miss Warren tried in vain to trace
them. Finally a Dover paper printed
a formal announcement of the mar
riage. and stated that It had taker
place in Philadelphia and that after &
short honeymoon the couple wOulC
| live in Magnolia, Del A copy of tn,
article was sent to Miss Warren anC
upon investigation she was told tina
| the announcement was sent in by 1
relative of Oechsler, living in Della
ware.
