1906: Mrs. Frank E. Walker Weds Benjamin Phillips in AR.

Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 16.-Twin sons of Mrs. Frank E. Walker, a widow living in Mississippi county, pleaded with their mother in vain to prevent her marriage to Benjamin Phillips, a farmer residing in an adjoining county, but failing resorted to methods which temporarily checked the marriage, mortified the bride and frightened the minister. Waiting until the couple were confronted with the ceremony the little sons 11 years old, quietly stole from the house and commenced to bombard the structure with stones. Panes of glass were broken and the ruse worked until Deputy Constable W.B. Thompson appeared. With the aid of another official they captured the miscreants and the nuptial knot was then tied.
