MARRIED SINCE LAST AUTUMN

Friends of Kenneth A. Groom Given a Surprise. Kenneth A. Groom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Groom 'of northeast of Rensselaer, and Miss Iris Lewis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lewis of Knox, were married at Crown Point November 4, but the matter was not made public until this week. Kenneth is a graduate of the Rensselaer high school and also of Purdue university, and for the past year or more has been employed in the Humston drug store at Goodland, where he and his bride will start housekeeping at once. It was not the intention of the young people to announce their wedding just yet, but it seems that Attorney A. L. Courtright of Knox happened to drop into the clerk’s office at Crown Point while they were securing their license, and he intended to keep the matter secret with thfem but thoughtlessly “let the cat out of the bag’’ to some friends one day this week. The many friends of the groom in and about Rensselaer unite in extending congratulations and best wishes to both of them.
