MARRIED-Carrie Dye, whose distracted fiancé, Louis Thoeny of Ft Thomas Ky. has been hunting her ever since she mysteriously disappeared from home at 216 West Fifth Street, Newport, last Sunday, returned home Wednesday night and was married Thursday to Thoeny. Father O'Dwyer of the Immaculate for the missing daughter, tied the knot.
Her mother who joined in the search for the missing daughter, was not at home when she returned having passed her on the railroad between Cincinnati and Dayton O. The girl's only explanation is that she had a quarrel with her mother about household duties and went to the home of a relative Mrs. Pearl Haller in Dayton O. She did not tell Thoeny she was going, although their wedding had been set for Monday. Attired in the garments he bought for the wedding, Thoeny made his quest for his sweetheart.
