Well, just as might have been expected, this romantic marriage has ended in a separation, for, on last Tuesday, Mrs Gilliam returned to her northern home. And there was quite a contrast between her coming and going - between her arrival and departure. (There is a marriage record from 4 November 1897 between James W Gilliam from Chatham County, age 44 and Frances D Middaugh from Westfield NY, age 42.)
