Miss Lillie Sheets, daughter of Mrs. James Ennis, went to Chicago Monday morning and did not apprise her “parents or friends of the purpose of her trip, but upon her arrival home she brought the news of her marriage to Mr. John Howe, of Morris, 111. She was not accompanied home by her husband, ,as he returned to Culver, where he Is working on the erection of a large building at the military academy. Mr. Howe is a brick mason and Is quite well known In Rensselaer, having worked here on the construction of the Murray building and later on the new church at St. Joseph’s college.
