Love Above Money Defies Rich Father In Elopement
Violet Pierce deems freedom over wealth as she elopes with James A. Deering, breaking strict parental surveillance at the New York mansion. The Pierce family, led by H. Clay Pierce, battled wedding plans before the ceremony in Dr. Willam Rodgers rooms on Seventy-ninth street. The pair later wed in New York after a license delay, while Pierce sought the couple in Manhattan.
