Heiress Weds a Brakeman
Bride gives reasons for Her Mother's Opposition to Marriage
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 28 - Miss May Dewein, an heiress to a fortune at
Mattoon, Ill., amounting to $100,000, is now the wife of Brakeman
Vernon Hinkle, whose home is in this city. The two met and fell
in love while Hinkle was passing through Mattoon aboard his train,
bound to and from St. Louis and Indianapolis. The ceremony was
performed Friday afternoon, but it was only a few hours after the
justice of the peace had joined their hands when a telegram was
received from Mattoon, asking if the license had been issued, and
informing the clerk that the bride is but 16 years of age and the
heiress to a $75,000 legacy left her by her father at his death in
1893. The parent of the young woman were informed that the
wedding had taken place. The youthful Mrs. Hinkle was found
at her boarding house with her husband tonight.
"I would rather lose my whole fortune than lose Vernon," she
said. "I left Peoria, where I had been visiting friends, and came
here with the determination to get married. I was 18 years old
last February, and I don't care what mama says. She doesn't want
me to think I am 18 because at that age she ceases to get the allowance
from my estate, as provided for in my father's will." [The
