She Was A Morenci Teacher

The Morenci Observer reprints from a Painesville, O., paper the following romance of real life, as the lady was once a well-known teacher in Morenci: "A scène was enacted in the presence of Justice Huntington Wednesday evening which would furnish material for a pretty romance. Forty-five years ago E. D. Rich, then a prominent young man of Kirtland, paid his attentions to a young lady in Mentor, as many a virtland swain since has done, and n time the two were engaged to be married. But a misunderstanding arose which caused a separation, and he two lives which were pledged to each other's happiness drifted off nto different channels. Mr. Rich was subsequently married, and afte a successful business career here removed to Cleveland, where he has )uilt up a great marble works. The Mentor girl developed into an excellent school teacher, and asno other Romeo ever crossed the current of her affections she still retained the name her parents gave her. The second chapter began a year ago. Mr. Rich was left a widower and the sunny Kirtland hills and the 'good oíd days' once more charmed him. Along with the reccollections of youth carne the image of a certain Mentor girl and he determined to renew that early courtship. He was successful. A meeting was planned in Painesville, and here the two saw each other for the first time in forty years. A license was procured and Squire Huntington was invited to officiate. The bride upon this occasion was Miss Julia Root, formerly of Mentor." May the love which took Root so long ago develop into a Rich harvest of earthly happiness. A roller skating masquerade took place at Tecumseh last night, just the same as though it were ten years ago, yesterday. Tecumseh, we believe, is the only to-wn in the state that still supports a roller rink.
