January 15, 1910 Former Corning Girl Marries In Atlanta, Ga. =========================================== Miss Lura Louise Reed, youngest daughter of our fellow-townsman, J. R. Reed, was married at Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29, to Mr. Wilbur Sanders, of Connersville, Ind. A few days ago, Mr. Reed received the following letter from his daughter. [faded] “Connersville, Ind., Dec. 31, 09. “Dear papa and all: “well, I am going to surprise you all; I am married and have the grandest, best husband in the world. He is so good to me. We were married Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Dr. Curtis’ home, with about 30 people present. We left at four o'clock for Rome, Ga., where we spent the night, and we traveled all day yesterday on the tram and arrived in Cincinnati about 10:30. We left about 11:30 for Connerville and arrived about 2 a.m., where we will make our future home.” Mrs. Sanders was born and reared in Corning, and has a host of friends in this city. She was a graduate of our high school and afterwards went to Little Rock sanitarium as a trained nurse. This marriage was the culmination of a romance which began when Mr. Sanders was suffering with typhoid fever in a hospital in Decatur, Ga., where Miss Reed was one of the nurses. She cared for him in his illness and they became warm friends. Their friendship ripened into love and the result was the uniting of these two lives. [It is Connersville and Connerville in the newspaper.]
