Edward J. Koch Was Married

Bride is Miss Marion O'Hara, of Toledo

They met at Whitmore Lake--Absence could not separate them

A pretty romance culminated in this city last Saturday, when Miss Marion J. O'Hara, of Toledo, and Edward J. Koch, son of John Koch, were united in marriage by Justice Doty. The bride and groom met a few years ago while spending their summer vacations at Whitmore Lake and a strong attachment sprang up between them. They soon made the fact of their engagement known to their respective families only to meet with the strongest of opposition to the match.

Miss O'Hara's father died some time ago and her aunt, thinking that she might make her niece change her mind by taking her away where she would not see her fiancee, took Miss O'Hara to Florida for the winter. Through all these months she remained true and when at last they decided that the opposition of the family was not to be overcome, they decided to take matters into their own hands and to be married secretly.

Miss O'Hara came to this city on the noon train from Toledo and was met by Mr. Koch and they went at once to Justice Doty, who pronounced the words which made them man and wife.

Mrs. Koch is a charming young woman and has a number of friends in this city, who will welcome her here.

Mr. Koch is a progressive, wide away young business man. He has proven a valuable assistant to his father in his furniture business for several years. His many friends join in congratulating him most heartily and wishing him a happy married life.
