Romance In Real Life ~ Barber ~ Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 31, 1906
A young lady having relatives in Chariton was to have met a young man by the name of BARBER, from Ottumwa, last night, and they were to be married. Invitations had been issued, the wedding garments provided and the feast ordered at the bake shop. The young man appeared on the scene but just before the happy hour, the groom to be, received word that his lady love had been married to a rival, a few days ago. Thus ends a romance in real life and proves anew the fickleness of the human heart. The young man had his home furnished but returned sorrowfully this morning to his cheerless abode.
