Seventeen-year-old Girl Married Youth of Nineteen and Now Repents
(Special to The Tribune-Telegraph)
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 24 February 1921]
Buffalo, N.Y., Feb 22-Claiming that his daughter, Iva, 17 years old, left home in the Elmwood Avenue district here last November 11, while he was out of town with his consent or knowledge, Henry T. Buffum, as guardian for his daughter, has brought action to annul her marriage to Shook. Justice Pierce here in Supreme Court last Monday gave him permission to serve the complaint by publication because Shook lives in Canada. Buffum stated in the papers in the case that his daughter desired to return to him shortly after the marriage but was obliged to earn sufficient funds to defray her expenses. She returned to the father on January 29, this year, and 10 days ago the father was appointed guardian to bring the annulment action. The girl’s mother is dead. Shook is said to 19 years old.
