La Grange, Ind., April 18.—Herbert Lang, aged 78, and Mrs. Bondley, aged 71, were married near Decatur, Mich., yesterday. Forty-five years ago Lang was a clerk for James Wright, a wealthy merchant of Scranton. It became known that Lang had a strong attachment for the merchant's daughter, and he was dismissed. The daughter, Cassie, was sent to Europe. Several years later she married James Bondley, a wealthy banker, of Jersey City. Lang came West and never married.
Mr. Bondley died 40 years ago. While visiting an old schoolmate in Hudsonville township, Mich., the widow accidentally met the lover of her girlhood. The pledges of more than two score years ago were renewed and the old lovers were married.
