PARKINSON, May 4, 1893, by the Rev. R. J. SMITH, Benjamin S. HEBARD, of Rochester, Monroe County, New York, and Miss Nellie I. PARKINSON, of Fruit Valley, Oswego County, New York. Submitted by MARY JANE HAIGHT-ECKERT Newspaper Clipping 1902 Utica Saturday Globe, dated, September 27, 1902 MARRIED THREE YEARS AGO PRETTY ROMANCE IN WHICH PROMINENT OSWEGONIANS FIGURE OSWEGO, Sept. 26.___A romance which terminated in a secret marriage came to light a few days since when there was filed in the office of the town clerk of Palermo the record of the marriage of Miss Lena KEHOE, the daughter of William KEHOE, a meat dealer of Oswego, and Walter M. JERMYN, a son of the late John JERMYN, the millionaire coal operator who died in Scranton several months ago. The records show that the ceremony
was performed June 2, 1899, by Rev. George Ward, at the hamlet of Vermillion.
Mr. Ward is of the Methodist faith. The young couple are both well
known in this city and have many friends. Mr. JERMYN, who owns the
Oswego Boiler Works, is one of the five heirs to the $10,000,000 estate,
consisting of coal mines, railroad stock, real estate and securities, which
was left by his father. The famous Jermyn Hotel of Scranton is a
part of the estate. For some time past there has been rumors that
Mr. Jermyn and Miss Kehoe were married. About three years ago Mr.
Jermyn took up his quarters at the residence of the Kehoe family, but no
formal announcements of the marriage was ever made.
It was a $2,000,000 secret
which the young couple have kept for three years. Young JERMYN fell
madly in love with Miss KEHOE when he first came to Oswego four years ago
and established large boiler works. She was one of the sweetest girls
in town, the daughter of a modest meat dealer, and JERMYN became a frequent
caller at her home. They were often observed driving in the gorgeous
turn-outs which JERMYN was able to command. Then JERMYN, Sr., head
of a family of great wealth and social prominence, learned how matters
were going. He said Walter must give up his suit or disinheritance
would be his lot. After that the carriage drives ceased and apparently
young JERMYN’S desire for millions outweighed his love for beautiful Miss
KEHOE. The public, however, was mistaken, for the young people did
meet and were married and now JERMYN has his millions and his lovely bride
too.
