Katie Marie Abelseth and Harry S. Little took out a license yesterday afternoon at the office of County Clerk Roberson and were married at the Methodist parsonage last evening by the Rev. J. L. Collins.
The ceremony was witnessed by Miss Josephine Hughes and Ray A. Via, friends of the contracting parties.
Rumors of the approaching matrimonial plunge of the groom have been about town for some time and the marriage did not come as a surprise to the friends ot the young couple.
The groom is a clerk in a local shoe establishment and the bride claims the distinction of being the last person in the last seat in the last boat to leave the ill-fated Titanic when it was standing on its nose with propellers high in air.
One of several men who jumped for the seat was shot by the purser of the liner and Miss Abelseth gained it and was taken on board one of the ships which later arrived on the scene of the disaster.
