The marriage was performed by Rev. F. B. Thorne. It was kept secret until September because they wanted to secure teaching positions before they made the marriage known. Lula Mae secured a teaching position at the Methodist Orphan's Home in Waco, and her husband secured a job teaching in the public school in Eden, Texas.
