The Blount County News-Dispatch, 17 Jan 1895 Cruel Relatives. Prevented the Consummation of a Fond Desire on the Part of a Loving Couple. Yesterday Will H. Staton, of Woodlawn, tried to marry Miss Camille Allgood, but-well he didn't, anyway. It seems that Will has been teaching school near Oneonta, and during that time had been paying marked attentions to this girl, who is apparently not over 16 years of age. He talked of dreamy things and finally asked her to marry him. She was too young, but finally said all right. His fiancee resides in Conway county, Arkansas, and was on a visit, with her aunt, to relatives near Oneonta. Yesterday was the time set for her to return, and if she did, to part with her sweet William. It leaked out that she and William were going to be married, so two of her uncles accompanied her to Birmingham. When they arrived here everything looked gloomy. They tried every imaginable scheme which pointed toward a climax of their love, but in vain. The uncles, who it is said had guns to keep William from marrying Camille, kept a close watch on the couple and in this matter stopped the game. In the union depot William sat with his Camille. They talked love and longed for the time to come when they could get a chance to have the desired knot tied. The union depot wasn't a good place for the playing of their game, to they walked across Morris avenue under the pretext of going to dinner. The old folks wouldn't trust this Romeo and Juliet, so they too went to the Metropolitan hotel. Here Willie and his girl sat and talked more. They saw the game was blocked and his girl began to cry, for her father had telegraphed here to keep them from marrying if she had to be turned over to the Sheriff. William looked sweet to her but the though of jail bars drove her to shedding more tears. She cried for her darling and he for his. By this time the hour had come for her to board the train for home. She wanted to marry him and he her, but the sight of guns proved a gentle persuader. He went as far as the passenger gate, and here a dramatic scene occurred. It was a love's goodbye, and both shed tears like children, for their fondest hopes had been blasted. She went to Arkansas and he to Oneonta.-Birmingham Age Herald, Jan. 13th.
