1911 South Dakota Newspaper article explains it in length, link below



They didn't marry until 1921 they must of just told people they were married as staying together in a motel or living together and being married was a crime back then, it was a fine and jail time.

I am not sure what happened to them after this, but I love her mugshot and just had to write her story even though it's a short one. Hopefully someone will fill us in on the details.
