BELLEVUE KY


A secret marriage, which involves a number of romantic features, has just come to light. The principals are two well known and popular young people of the city. Mr. Oliver Wolfram, brother of Dr. Anna Wolfram, of Center street, and Miss Annie Gilhany of Ward avenue.

They were secretly married in Richmond Ind. last September and managed to keep the matter a secret until a few days ago. It seems that the family on both sides objected to the marriage. The Wolframs were particularly desirous of thwarting the evident intentions of the two lovers and for this purpose secured a lucrative position in Richmond Ind. for young Oliver some time last fall.

The young lady, who was employed in a large Cincinnati firm, said she needed a vacation last September. She went to Richmond and met her lover. The rest has been told. The pretty wife returned and resumed her position with the old firm and kept her secret until the latter part of last week, when she joined her husband at Richmond.
