JIM, 100 Years ago: The Vagaries of Love By JIM This article first appeared in the December 13, 1912 Louisville Herald and subsequently appeared in the December 18, 1912 Adair County News: It's a woman's privilege to change her mind. Because her having exercised that privilege, Mrs. James E. Morton, of Pellyton, Ky., doesn't happen to be Mrs. Titus Thompson to-day. Mrs. Morton until yesterday afternoon was Miss Gay Roberts. On Dec. 24th, next, she was to have married Thompson. She told her fiance of an old lover, one "Jim" Morton, who was out West. "If I could just get those letters back I wrote to Jim, I am sure I would be perfectly happy with you, Titus," said Gay. Well, Titus wrote Jim: "We are engaged, Gay and I," the letter ran, "and we would consider it splendid of you if you returned those letters." That gave Morton an idea. He would return those letters in person. He did. He "hot-footed" it East. He talked to Gay. He found her winsome. In fact, she was prettier than she used to be. It took little to rekindle the fires of the old love. "You know," said Jim, "you were my sweetheart first." "Yes, that's true," Gay was forced to admit. That she wanted to admit it developed yesterday when Morton and Miss Roberts were married at Jeffersonville, Ind. Instead of "hot-footing" it back West, Mr. and Mrs. Morton will take their time. They're on their honeymoon! (Indiana marriage records confirm that Mr. Morton and Miss Roberts did indeed set sail on the sea of matrimony on December 12, 1912 -JIM.)
