WEDDING NO CEREMONY
Blanche Israel and Leon Le Grant Announce Common Law Marriage
	A wedding without ceremony or form was enacted by a couple from Tulsa, at Wichita, Kan., 
this week.  Miss Blanche L. Israel, 22, and Leon Le Grant, 23, the Tulsa couple, announced their 
common law marriage through the newspapers in Wichita.  They had been acquainted three months.  
Le Grant became involved in a religious dispute with E.F. Israel, the girl’s father, in Tulsa, 
and went home with him to continue the argument.  The couple met and became engaged.
	Israel is a writer on religious subjects.  The girl is of a romantic nature.  The couple 
got their idea of a marriage without the usual forms from a decision of an Illinois judge.
