Asheville Gazette, 7th - W. Nelson and Maud Halderley were married yesterday 
at 33 Merrimon avenue by Justice Jesse R. Starnes. There was some delay in the 
performances of the ceremony, occasioned by an inquiry from the groom as to 
the politics of the justice, he deciding that he would not by married by a 
Republican, and expressing fears that the ceremony would not be binding if 
performed by one of the offsprings of the last legislature. He finally 
succumbed to the inportunities of the bride, who assured him that if it killed 
him to be married by a Republican justice, the same officer would bury his 
body without charge. The ceremony was performed.
