Silver Wedding
Washington, D. C., Oct. 2.—Con-
gratulations -fire in order for the vice
president- and Mrs.’ Marshall today,
ithte being the silver anniversary of
their wedding. In official society in
the national capital no couple enjoy
greater popularity than the Marshalls
and many were the greetings sent
them today by their friends. Among
the senders of felicitous messages
were the president and Mrs. Wilson.
There was romanqg back of the
marraige of Mr. Marshall and Miss
Lois Kimsey of Steuben county. Ind.,
twenty-five years ago today. Wlhen
he first met his future bride Mr. Mar-
shall was a bachelor “somewhat along
in" years,” and had already attained
considerable fame as a lawyer in his
section of Indiana, and a; popularity
among the democrats that1 was to re-
sult in later years in his election as
governor of the Hoosier State, which
in turn was to prove the stepping
stone to the vice presidency. ^
It happened that Mr. Marshall was
called 'to. the town of Angola as a
special judge in the circuit court
Miss Kimsey’s father was then l
clerk of the covert and she acted as
his deputy. During the trial Mr. j
Marshall frequently stopped at the
desk of the deputy clerk between ses-
sions of the court. The acquaintance-
ship thus began ripened into love and
a few years after their first meeting
Miss Kimsey became Mrs. Thomaa
