VERY ROMANTIC INDEED
Miss S. B. Coleman Weds Mr. H. L. Allen
Despite Parental Objection
The parsonage of Rev. S.P .H. Elwell was the scene at a late hour
last night of one of the most romantic marriages that has occurred in
Columbia in many a day. It was the old story of the insufficiency of locks
and bars and objections, when Cupid is at work.
H. L. Allen, a well known young broker of Columbia, loved Miss S.
B. Coleman, the daughter of a prominent farmer of this county, whose home
is at the Starling place. Parental authority intervened, but this fact did
not cause the young couple to lose hope. They made their plans for an
elopement, and these plans were most happily consummated at a late hour
last night.
At the usual time the young lady retired, and when the family were
deep in slumber, arose, wrote a note, telling her parents of the intended
marriage, and met her lover, who awaited her coming with a buggy near the
house. The couple hastily drove to the city, reaching here at 11 o ' clock,
where they summoned Fred and Miss Germany, who consented to witness the
ceremony. The party then proceeded to the residence of Rev. S. P. H.
-Elwell, who united them in the holy bonds of matrimony. The bride and
groom stopped last night at the Columbia Hotel, after receiving the
congratulations of the few who witnessed the ceremony.
The parents of the bride will awake this morning in the belief that
their daughter is still with them, but the note that was left will soon
tell the story.
Both the bride and groom mentioned in the above article were natives of
Fairfield
County. Miss S. B. (Sarah Belle) Coleman was a daughter of George W. Coleman
and his first
wife Mary Elizabeth Stevenson (daughter of Samuel Hemphill Stevenson and
Cynthis Yongue
Stevenson). The Colemans were from the Feasterville section of Fairfield
County.
The groom was Howard Leitner Allen, son of Hiram Sylvanus Allen and his wife
Rebecca C. Leitner Allen (daughter of David Wesley Leitner and his wife
Betsy Smith). The
AlIens were from the Blythewood section of Fairfield County, but were
residents ofColumbia
during the 1890's, Mr. Hiram Allen being a railroad engineer operating our
of Columbia.

Frances Coleman married Thomas Powell Harvey 1810 Baldwin County, GA. Her brother, William Coleman, accompanied them to the Marion and Lawrence Counties of MS. Does anyone know the name of Frances and William Coleman's Parents? I certainly would appreciate any information sent to me at hharvey1(a)hot.rr.com.
Thanks,

Does anyone have any proof of a marriage for Samuel Coleman b 1794 (son of Robert Harris, Sr and Elizabeth Burks)? I believe before 1822 he married Malinda Harris, one of the daughters of Robert Harris (b 1778 Buck.) and wife Frances Coleman, but I can't prove it. Does anyone have the names of all the children of Robert Harris and Frances Coleman? Does anyone have a will for Robert? I believe Malinda died 1836-1840 after the birth of their youngest child, Clifton Smith Coleman. Clifton appears to have been raised by his maiden aunts, Elizabeth and Mary P Harris, sisters of his mother Malilnda. So many theories, so little proof. All suggestions greatly appreciated.
