FLORH FAY DAVIS
miS OFMRIAGE
Omaha Girl Weds Robert .
Davidson of New York State
While? Student at
Vassar.
Miss Florine Fay Davis, daughter
of Dr. John C. Davis of Omaha and
Mr. Robert Easton Davidson, (were
married December 7, 1917, in New
York City. The wedding was an
nounced at the Vasser senior class
supper Tuesday evening, at Vassar
College. ' -
Mrs. Davidson is a graduate of the
Central High school and of Vassar
college. Mr. Davidson, who is the
son of James Davidson of Herkimer.
N. Y., is a graduate of Colgate Uni
versity and a member of the Theta
Phi fraternity. He has recently en
listed in the signal corps and is now
in training at Kelly field.
Although the parents of the young
couple knew of the marriage it has
been kept a profound secret from
their friends. 'The bride was attended
by her room-mate ,at Vassar, Miss
Marie Isabel Bruce, and the best man
was Mr. Lionel D. Edie, professor of
English at Colgate University.
Mrs. Davidson has a brother. Lieu
tenant John Davis, now stationed at
Jefferson Barracks. 1 She' plans to
enter the Nebraska College of Medi
cine iiis faM. i
tion of $30,000 on the Colonade hotel,
and that the other properties owned
by Stoecker were in his opinion,
worth about $65,000. . This included
flats, apartments and houses in
Omaha and South Omaha.
The one bright spot in the day's
session and the only time in which
a relief from the serious side of the
case was offered, came when Mrs.
Henry Stroesser, who worked in a
house next door to the Colonade
hotel a: the time Theresia first came
there, told of her "short acquaint
ance" with Stbecker.
Whei asked if she knew Mr.
Stoecker at the time, she replied,
"He spoke to me but once."
"What did he say?" she was asked.
"I was standing out doors and Mr,
Stoecker approached me. After a
short talk he asked me my nationality.
I told him, Irish, and he never spoke
to me since."
At this the entire court room
crowd gave vent to its pent up feel
ings and laughed heartily, even Judge
Troup throwing aside his judicial
dignity for the moment to indulge in
a broad smile at the expense of the
Irish; nation. Mrs. Stroesser a testi
mony was merely concerning deduc
tions about the relations between
Stoecker and Theresia.
The court was then, adjourned until
9 o'clock Wednesday morning.
