Charlotte Observer - Aug 28, 1910
A Detemined Lover

Dunn, Aug. 27 - A Big Delegation from Salemburg, Sampson County, was here this 
week. The cause of the upstir was one of unusual interest.

Mr. Ernest Pope of this place has been giving his attentions to a young 
Sampson girl, Miss Inez Cooper. Mr. Burrows Underwood was also interested. 

Last Saturday, it seems, Underwood met the young lady at Falcon and they 
agreed to skip and get married. He took her to a friend's home and left her to 
go for the preacher and sent a man for the license and while he was gone, the 
father of the girl and Mr. Pope got wind of what was going on and went out and 
found her, stole her from the other lover, and Mr. Pope brought her to Dunn. 

Monday he went to Smithfield and secured the license and they were married and 
are now living here. The other fellow and his friends came up Monday and have 
been trying to get the girl, claiming that she was forced to marry. Up to this 
time, they have failed to get the girl, but the Sampson delegation is not yet 
satisfied.
