  Married	19 May 1938	Oakland, Alameda County, California   [1]
  	Mary got to know Elmer in Mountain View, and became engaged to him. He subsequently moved to California, and although she considered herself to be engaged, she actually continued dating. She had given her word to Elmer, so when he asked her to come to California to him to be married, she did. Her parents would not allow her to be married before she was 18, but a few days after her 18th birthday she took a train to California, where Elmer met her at the station. They had to apply for a marriage license and wait three days. During this period, she stayed with some friends of Elmer's sister Vera Gulley (whose husband was Owen - they were the parents of Lola Gulley who married Jack WALKER). They were married at the home of those friends. Vera and Owen were moving back to Missouri around that time, and Elmer and Mary took over the rented house which they had vacated. Mary said that when she went back to that house with Elmer, her new husband, she had not seen him for 18 months. Mary and Elmer were married for around 60 years and raised two wonderful daughters.
