Marriage of Will C. Frank and Mis
.tiamie Ktves the w editing Occurred in
Atlanta Nearly Two Years Ago, But
Was Not Known 1'iitll Ijist Friday.
Asheville Citizen, 17tb.
Will C. Frank and Miss Mamie
Frank ltives left for Knoxville this
morning 011 the Norfolk-Chattanooga
limited.
To absolutely correct, however,
the item should read that Mr. and
Mrs. Will C. Frank left this morn
ing for Knoxville. For they are
husband and wife, although not
even the nearest relatives and
closest friends of the voung couple
Knew n, ana oecause ot this fact
the announcement will prove a
surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Frank's
trie uds.
And therein lies u pretty little
roinauce. Mr. Frank and Miss
liives had been lovers for several
years. Ouce they had considered
marriage, but the idea had been
giveti up for the time. In the
meantime it became necessary for
Mr. Frank to ro to Atlanta to con
sult Dr. Calhoun, the eminent
specialist, on account of impaired
eyesight. He went to the Gate
City on the L'nl day of December,
iv.)o, when the Cotton States aud
International exposition was near-
mg its closing days. Two days
later Miss Rives, with her frieud,
Miss Applna Collins, went to At
lanta to see the exposition and to
visit Miss liives' aunt. Mr. Frank
was unaware of his betrothed in
the city until the mom of the L'Gth,
wneu lie saw the ladies as lie
sped down the street on a car. He
sought them out. and the dav fol
lowing proposed to Miss liives
that tuey marry then aud there.
Her consent was after a'vuile
given, and Mr. Frank hied him to
the ordinary's otlice where he pro
cured the license. That afteruoou
at r.:30, December 27th, 1895, they
were made husband and wife at
the manse of Central Presbyterian
church, the ceremony being pro
nounced by the pastor, liev. G. B.
Stiickler, I). D, iu a beautifully
decorated parlor, with two daugh
teis of J)r. Strickler as witnesses.
Of the marriage Miss liives' com
panion. Miss Collins, had no
knowledge whatever, and in fact
knew nothing of it until yesterday.
Only those directly concerned
knew aught ot it; strict secrecy
was imposed, anil has been faith
fully observed. Only two people
in Asheville, Mr. Frank and his
wife, knew of it up to yesterday.
They appeared in public together
just as though Mr. Frank was an
accepted suitor instead of a doting
husband.
The remainder of the story is
quickly told. Mr. Frank a short
tune ago decided to remove to
Knoxville, and he and 'Miss liives
in reality Mrs. Frank decided
to announce the marriage and go
together to their new home. Miss
liives or Mrs. Frank went out
ostensibly to speud the night with
a fiiend and today she and her
husband are in Knoxville. A mes
sage delivered this nioruing in
formed the young lady's parents
of the marriage and departure.
Mr. Frank, the bridegroom, is a
well known young priuterof Ashe
ville, a uative of the city aud for
years one of the Citizen'1 force.
He is a handsome fellow, what
compositors term a "swift," a
quick, skillful workman, and is a
brother of the Citizen's foreman,
Robert C. Frank.
The bride is a daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. B. F. liives, and is a
pretty and most estimable young
lady. Both husband and bride
have large numbers of friends here
and all will extend to the couple
their very best wishes.
