“WAITED FOR HER”
LAWYER’S YOUNG BRIDE.
BABY HE WHEELED IN PRAM
Two days after she had reached her twentieth birthday, Miss Betty Roots, only daughter of a Rochester dentist, was married to Mr Frank Stuart Boxall, a fifty-three-year-old Yeovil solicitor, at St Nicholas Church, Rochester.
Mr Boxall first saw his bride when she was a baby, and often took her out in her perambulator. He has an extensive legal practice in the West of England. After leaving school, Betty studied medicine, and at one time she was engaged to a young doctor. Mr O. J. Roots, her father, told the “Sunday Express}”: —“Frank and I have been friends for years, and have spent many holidays together. Betty was always fond of him, but every one thought he would remain a bachelor. “She was in her second year as a medical student when this little romance came along, and she cut off her studies at once.
“We had attended a cousin’s wedding when suddenly Frank sprang it on me by asking my consent to marry Betty. I was only too pleased to give it.”
