Forty Years After a Broken Promise Wedding Tour
Daniel Beals of West Lebanon Wayne county travels with the woman he courted forty years ago Miss Elizabeth Buchwalter. Once engaged, religious differences led to a breach suit in Wooster where she won 750 damages. Beals later fell on hard times. Buchwalter owned a prime farm. An earlier home invasion by masked men led to legal actions against three Mount Union citizens who were acquitted. Beals aided Buchwalter in pursuing justice, helping her win one damages case for one dollar. They renewed their engagement and married recently.
