SPRINGFIELD, O., May 13. – Miss Francis Walsh of Salt Lake City and John McGrath, a wealthy and well-known horseman, living a few miles north of this city, are the central figures in a romance that culminated in the wedding of the couple in the Church of the Assumption, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati.  The couple became acquainted some years ago on the occasion of the bridegroom's visit to Utah.  Their lively exchange of letters resulted in a betrothal and finally a journey of the bride to Ohio for the wedding.

The marriage of Mr. George A. Springmeier, director of the Leather club, to Miss Emma Goetz, which became known Friday, came as a great surprise to their friends.  The nuptial knot was tied Wednesday morning in the parlors of Father Finn of St. Xavier's church.  Just a few members of the families of the bride and groom were in attendance.  The happy couple immediately left for the East, where they will remain for a month, and on their return here will start housekeeping.  Springmeier is prominently identified in the local shoe and leather trade, being manager of a large concern.  He lives at 608 Crown street, Walnut Hills.  Miss Goetz, who is young and pretty, is a daughter of John Goetz, who conducts a business at 1110 Main street.
