ROMANCE BROUGHT LIVES TOGETHER

Roselawn Young Man Injured In South. Africa Marries Nurse Who Brought Him to His Home. Claybourne (Charles • Smith, the young man who was brought all the way to the home of his parents near Roselawn from South Africa, where in July of last year he suffered a broken back while engaged, in making machinery repairs for an English (corporation; was married last Sunday afternoon to Miss Edith Emily Buckle, the trained nurse who accompanied him to his home. She is described as being a very pretty English girl, This description, however, does not do her justice, for she must be a woman of noble heart and great courage, for she has remained devotedly at her post through long weeks of care of her patient, who is probably doomed to always be a hopeless cripple. ' The story of Smith's accident was published in The Republican and attracted attention all over the state, being- made a special feature in several papers. It is said that the company for whom Smith worked spent $25,000 on his operations and the expense of having him brought to hi 3 Indiana home. The nurse, now the bride of . Smith, is said to be a very highly accomplished young woman. Their marriage was performed last Sunday by Rev. Coleman, the M. E. pastor at Roselawn.
