Justice Tanner Ties the Knot for a Youthful Pair
There was a runaway marriage in Atlanta yesterday afternoon. The contracting parties were quite young, but nevertheless were desperately in love with each other. Miss Carrie Alexander and Frank Donahue were the two parties, and they applied to Judge Tanner, who tied the knot for them in short order. The parties were united in opposition to the instructions of the bride's mother, but the former was the personification of happiness and contentment during the ceremony, while the groom looked to be the happiest man on earth. Miss Alexander, the bride, is just sweet sixteen, and is the youngest of the five daughters of Mrs. Alexander, on Jenkins street. The mother and the bride had a little misunderstanding a few weeks ago over receiving the groom's company, and the young lady left home, going to an aunt's house, where she has resided until the marriage. The mother tried to persuade her daughter to return home several times, but she persistently refused, saying she would not return unless she would consent to her marrying Frank. The young people will reside at the residence of the groom's parents, on Wheat street, for the present. [The Macon Telegraph January 22, 1888]
