WERE MARRIED IN MICHIGAN

Arthur Gosnell trad Miss Clay Nevill Elope to Wolverine State. An elopement occurred here Sunday which came as a surprise to the relatives of the principals. Miss Clay Nevill, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry" C. Nevill, left home Sunday morning ostensibly to go to Sunday school. She was picked up somewhere on the way, it is supposed, by Arthur Gosnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Gosnell, who reside on the former Pumphrey place at the northwest corner of town, and they are supposed to have driven to Remington and thence to Wolcott and then to Michigan, where, according to a telegram Mr. Nevill says he received from his daughter Monday, they were married at Kewana, Michigan. At this writing they have not returned home and the telegram did riot state when they expected to come back. While it was known that the young couple were acquainted, it was not thought there was any serious attachment between them. The girl .was seventeen years old last February. She was a student in the Rensselaer high , school and would have graduated with the 1918 class, we understand. Mr. Gosnell is about ten years her senior and is a widower, having one child perhaps seven years old by a previous marriage. He had been employed as driver for one of the White & Lee ice wagons for the past two seasons.
