WHEELED HIS BRIDE IN CHAIR.
Brannan Was the Name of Both, and
She'd Hurt Her Knee.
John W. Brannan, a middle aged man from Lamar, Mo., came wheeling a young woman in an invalid's chair into the recorder's office yesterday and asked for a marriage license. The woman was Miss Lizzetta Brannan of Springfield, Ill. They were married in the office by Justice Festus C. Miller. Before the groom wheeled his bride away to the Union depot, where they took a train for a honeymoon in Mexico, the clerks in the office were able to get a little information out of him.
He and the bride are no kin, and have never been married previously, although they both have the name of Brannan. The woman is not a confirmed invalid, but fell and hurt one of her knees a few weeks ago. They had been engaged several months and the groom did not want to postpone the wedding, he said, on account of a "little injury to the girl."
