ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
----------------------------
A marriage of peculiar interest occurred in Heard county, Ga, last Wednesday 
[20 May
1908]. Mr Marvin STEWART, the second son of Mrs Emma STEWART, formerly of 
this
place [Roanoke] but now of Oklahoma, who has been spending some weeks in 
this section
of the country, was married to Miss Lilla MIDDLEBROOKS. The next day the 
young
couple proceeded to LaGrange and boarded the train for their future home in 
Oklahoma.

Mr STEWART left Roanoke eight years ago for Oklahoma, and had not been back 
till this
trip. He was quite young then, and the lady who last week became his bride 
was only
about 15 years of age. They were sweet hearts then, and through all the time 
and space
that intervened, their love for each other did not lapse. A regular 
correspondence was kept
up. Upon Mr STEWART’s return from the West arrangements were made for the 
happy
consummation above recorded. Thus does cupid do his cunning work.
