Elkin, Aug. 21—A correspondence which began about a year ago and an exchange of photos later, culminated in the wedding last week at the home of the bride’s parents, at Booneville, of Miss Bertha Craver and Charles Clemmons of Reno, Nevada.
Miss Craven and Clemmons met for the first time when the latter arrived in the little town the day preceding the marriage, but each fulfilled the expectations of the other and all plans previously decided upon were carried out on schedule time.
The correspondence which later developed into a romance came about in an unexpected way. The name of Miss Craver, postmistress of Booneville for the past three years, caught the attention of Postmaster Craver in Reno, Nevada, who wrote her for the purpose of tracing a chance relationship.
He passed the information to his friend Clemmons, an exchange of letters followed with the wedding last week as a climax.
The bridegroom, who more recently has been engaged in the railroad business I California, has become so favorably impressed with North Carolina that it is probable that he will engage in business here and become a citizen of Booneville.
The marriage was a quiet home affair, the ceremony being spoken in the presence of only a few friends by the bride’s pastor, Rev. T. S. Crutchfield.
