"MILTON A. WALKER AND CANE STREET GIRL, WHO ELOPED, ARE WED
    Cupid won a victory over police, parental opposition and sickness last evening when Milton A. Walker, 30-year-old machinist employed by the Jennison Co., and Constance Eveline Oulton, 16-year-old daughter of Mrs. Alice Oulton, 36 Cane Street were married by Rev. Julian West, pastor of the West Fitchburg Methodist church. Mrs. Oulton, who has previously for a long time opposed the marriage, gave her consent several days ago.
    It was when Miss Oulton was living in Pepperell that she and Mr. Walker fell in love. But her mother objected to Walker's intentions to her daughter because of her age. They met clandestinely, however, and they finally decided to elope. They went to Cleveland, Ohio with the intention of getting married, but police, who had been informed of the elopement, were waiting for them and held up the marriage.Â
    Walker was sent back to Fitchburg, and Miss Oulton was held in Cleveland. Then she contracted scarlet fever, with which she was ill for several weeks. She finally returned to Fitchburg and the mother's objections were finally overcome.
     At the ceremony last evening, Miss Oulton was charmingly gowned in blue Cretonne and wore a picture hat to match. She was attended by a sister Miss Maude Oulton as bridesmaid and the best man was Alvin Walker a brother of the bridegroom.  A ceremony was held at Mrs. Oulton's home and Mr. and Mrs. Walker left for their new home in Harvard."
