Complainant Alleges Pearl Prailey Marriage Hidden from Family
The bill filed by the complainant, aided by attorneys R. T. Barton and R. Gray Williams, claims she married George Louis Bailey under assumed names Grega O. Thomas to avoid parental objection. The marriage occurred in Marion Franklin County, Pa on November 8 1918, and a daughter born February 16 1921 was christened Mary Winifred Prailey. The suit asserts concealment of the marriage and alleges cruel remarks by the defendant threatening a separate home, with claims of the defendant's income and failure to support.

Cannons to Mark Maj Gen Daniel Morgan Grave
A Civil War cannon and eight cannon balls are to be shipped from a New Jersey arsenal to Mount Hebron Cemetery to mark the grave of Maj Gen Daniel Morgan. J L Maphis and Stewart Bell of the cemetery committee learned of the plan after visiting Washington and meeting Rep T W Harrison. The War Department provided a 10 inch Rodman gun previously stored at Fort Knox Marine but freight costs forced a search that found a Jersey arsenal gun ready for shipment to Winchester with eight cannon balls to be stacked near the Morgan plot. It is unclear if a ceremony will accompany the grave marking.
