Miss Helen PALMER, 19 years old, daughter of W. L. C. PALMER, superintendent of the Independence schools, and Grover COOLEY, 23 years old, of 921 Forest Avenue, were married at Olathe {Kansas} Saturday. The marriage was announced yesterday by her father in Independence. Professor and Mrs. PALMER were not told of the wedding until it was over. "Mr. COOLEY has been keeping company with my daughter for several months and has paid her frequent visits at our home," said Professor PALMER last night. "Had they told us they wished to be married we would have cheerfully consented. They are now away on a wedding journey, but I do not know just where." ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
