Romance of two hospitals ends in secret wedding at ward
A romance between J B Bratt, general foreman of the Washington and Annapolis Railway, and nurse Edith Estelle Sherwood culminated in a clandestine ceremony at the hospital infirmary with a clergyman from Forest Park overseeing. Hospital rules barred marriages between patients and nurses, and Bratt’s illness briefly delayed plans. Originally set for New York’s Little Church Around the Corner, the nuptials occurred at the Church Home and Infirmary on Broadway after Bratt’s appendicitis improved. Bratt, a native of Brunswick, Md., and Miss Sherwood, from St John’s Canada, pursued a union despite opposition to the clandestine ceremony.
