LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
The Independent Times, Sprague, May 17, 1907
The Spokesman Review of Friday last has the following:
After waiting a year for the bride to become of age, during which time the course of true love ran anything but smoothly, IRA J. BARNHART of Sprague, Wash., and Miss MYRTLE MEAD of Effie, Wash.; appeared yesterday before "Cupid" HEYWOOD in the county auditor's office with an application for a marriage license, and a high noon today they will be married in the Cheney hotel at Cheney, Wash.
A year ago the young couple wanted to wed, but there were objections on the part of the bride's parents as the young woman was considered altogether too young to marry, and the couple was forced to postpone the wedding. The groom is a young farmer living at Sprague, and is 23 years of age. He is the son of A. C. BARNHART, an old soldier who has lived in the town for a dozen years. Miss Mead is the oldest daughter of H. S. MEAD, a well-to-do farmer of Effie, Wash., where he has resided for 20 years. "We don't want to say much about it" said the young groom yesterday afternoon, "for Myrtle's parents objected to her being married now, but after we are made man and wife we shall go back there and ask their forgiveness, and I guess that they will be willing to give it to us when they see how happily our little romance has ended."
