Bride Walks Ten Miles For Marriage License
A 68 year old man, A W Chamberlain of South Montrose Pennsylvania, could not travel to the Montrose courthouse for a license due to infirmity. His 23 year old fiancée Miss Ida May Davison walked six miles from South Montrose to Montrose and back through deep snowdrifts to secure the license and they were married today. He had recently caught a severe cold and rheumatism, and heavy snowdrifts blocked roads making travel impossible for a horse. Davison refused to postpone the wedding and insisted on walking to obtain the license.
