WERE SECRETLY MARRIED
Harry Frazier and Miss Nellie Garland Surprised Their Friends
Harry Frazier, son of Mrs. Gertrude Frazier of this city, and Miss Nellie Garland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Garland of 413 East Seventh St., were secretly married last Sunday at Columbus, KS., but their secret failed to keep as long as they had intended.
The bride was a student at Miss Hankin's shorthand school in the third story of the Snyder building, and was to be graduated there in May. At least until that time, it is supposed, the young people wanted to keep the wedding a secret. But yesterday the fact that the license had been issued at Columbus was betrayed by the Galena correspondent of a Joplin paper, and their secret was out. the license give the age of Mr. Frazier at 21 and that of Miss Garland at 20. Friends of the young couple declare, however, that the groom is but 19 years of age
A reporter for the PRESS called at the Hankins school this morning to see "Miss Garland" but her secret had leaked out there yesterday and she had promptly withdrawn from school. Miss Hankins declared that the wedding had completely upset her school, that it was utterly impossible to get her remaining young lady students to concentrate their minds on the lessons of the day, and while the reporter was there Miss Hankins suspended work, and taking a big "committee" of her girls, went out to buy a wedding present for the sly young couple. A gold bowled spoon was invested in.
Mr. and Mrs. Frazier were not found by the reporter this morning, but the following account of their wedding was gleaned by a friend who saw Mrs. Frazier yesterday afternoon at the Hankins school: "Mr. Frazier and Miss Garland left Carthage Sunday morning say they were going to Galena to visit Miss Fleta Tate, and intimate friend of the bride, but instead they went direct to Columbus, where they procured a license and were married in the parlors of the hotel by the probate judge. They took dinner at the hotel and left at 2 o'clock for their return trip to Carthage. The young couple spent the evening together and Monday morning Mr. Frazier left for Parsons, KS., where he took up his route as salesman for the Joplin Tea Company.
The bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garland, have been in Carroll, Iowa for some time visiting relatives and during their absence Miss Nell was making her home with her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Grieb. She was guarding her secret well, but yesterday noon when confronted with the story of her marriage she admitted the truth. She told the story in detail and then said she would tell Mr. and Mrs. Grieb. The young couple had an understanding that in case the secret leaked out Mrs. Frazier was to wire her husband and he would return to Carthage at once. A wire was sent to him yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Garland will be home tomorrow and a full confession will be made. The young people have been keeping company for more than three years."
