Miss Ballew's Secret Marriage to Homer Norfolk Is Secret No Longer, September 1920

Of much interest is the announcement of the marriage in Asheville on September 11 of Miss Nora Ballew of Bridgewater and Mr. Homer Ellis of Norfolk, Va. The young people had intended keeping the marriage a secret until Christmas but the news leaked out and formal announcement was made. The bride is a graduate nurse and during the summer has been nursing in Hickory, stopping with her sister, Mrs. Ralph Abernethy. She is an attractive and winsome young lady and made many friends during her stay here. Mrs. Ellis left on the noon train for Norfolk to join her husband who is connected in business there.
