Soldier "Weds" But
Did Not Have A Wife
Fort Bragg?He paid $5 for the
marriage license, said, "I do," and
paid the preacher, then later found
he lacked a wife.
Such was the plight of Pvt. Bryan
Clemmons,. one of three brothers
from Greensboro, who are members
of the 65th General hospital here.
Private Clemmons made the appall
ing discovery last week when he ap
plied for Service Men's Dependent
Allowance.
Nor was that all The bride was
legally "married" to the best man.
This new epic of the classic love
triangle, it seems, began back in
Greensboro when Clemmons and
the former Miss Ann Mebane plight
ed their troth in the Presbyterian
church on May 14th. All, they
thought, was legal and everything
pledged with u platinum ring,
blessed by the minister, and duly
recorded at the court house
Then last week the truth came out
in a photostat is copy o! tin- marriage
license sent here for Clemmons' al
lowance application.
Mi's Clemmons, the record show
ed, was the wife of Pvt. Jack Clem
mons, who had been best man at his
brother's wwMUng.
No marital storm developed, how
ever, for it was learned the error in
names had been made when Jack got
the license for Bryan who was work
ing in a Baltimore defense plant at
the time.
Everything's straightened out now
on the books, but Jack wonders what
kind of a widower he is and if he'll
have to make an allotment for his
"wife" of four months.
