Lima Times Democrat, January 22, 1897
“Dr. Charles Metzger and Mrs. Anna B. Schenck Were Privately Married – At 
Cincinnati Yesterday Afternoon by a Magistrate of that City; Mrs. Schenck 
Formerly the Wife of Jos. Schenck, of this City.

Early last evening information was received in the city to the effect that Dr. 
Charles Metzger had been married to Mrs. Anna B. Shenck by a Justice of the 
Peace in the city of Cincinnati yesterday afternoon and the announcement of 
their marriage created somewhat of a sensation.  The wedding will be somewhat 
of a surprise to all who are acquainted with the doctor and Mrs. Schenck.  At 
the request of the parties, the wedding was a private one, and it was the 
intention, no doubt, to keep the affair secret.

The “Cincinnati-Tribune” of this morning has the following account concerning 
the affair:

A gentleman and lady, giving their names as Dr. Charles Metzger and Mrs. Anna 
B. Schenck, of Lima, Ohio, called at the office of Esquire Gass yesterday 
afternoon and requested that dignitary’s offices in welding the tie that is 
supposed to bind for better or for worse.  They requested privacy and the 
Squire gave them the best in his line in response to both requests.  They were 
taken into the rear sanctuary and duly made one

Dr. Metzger, it will be remembered, was the defendant in a divorce suit about 
six months ago.  Mrs. Anna B. Schenck is the former wife of Joseph Schenck, 
who formerly lived in the Commercial block on south Main street.

In the latter part of November Mrs. Schenck entered suit for a divorce on the 
grounds of habitual drunkenness.  Mr. Schenck made no defense in the suit and 
when it came up for hearing did not appear.  Five witnesses were examined for 
the plaintiff, and Dr. Metzger was one of them. January 8th Mrs. Schenck was 
granted a decree of divorce and custody of the children.

Mr. Joseph Schenck is an employee of the Lima machine shops and one of their 
most skilled mechanics.  The officials of the machine works consider him an 
efficient workman, and this morning spoke highly of him as a gentleman of 
sober and industrious habits.  He has worked for three years in the machine 
shops on east Market-street, and previous to that time was employed for 
several years in their South Side plant.

When Mr. Schenck was approached this morning by a representative of the TIMES-
DEMOCRAT, and asked if he knew of Mrs. Schenck’s marriage, he said he did not, 
but that he was not at all surprised, as he had expected it ever since the 
time that she had left him.  He stated that it was Mrs. Schenck’s love for 
another man that caused the trouble between himself and his wife.” 


Additional Comments:
Note:  Dr. Charles Metzger's first marriage was to Clarissa Matilda Cunningham.
