Pullman, was married yesterday at the Pull- man home, 1729 Prairie avenue, Chi- cago, to Dr. Robert Carroll of Ashe- ville, N. C. The ceremony was periormed by Bishop John Carroll, a brother of the physician, who came from his Philadelphia home to officiate. Only the most intimate friends of Miss Potter and her benefactress, Mrs. Pullman, were present. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll will make their home in Asheville. Dr. Carroll is a member of one of the leading families of North Caro- lina. He is head of the Highland Home Sanitarium in Asheville. The wedding is the culmination of an odd and romantic series of events, which began in June, 1915. At that time Miss Potter disappeared' sud- denly. Her reputation as a musician, her friendship with Mrs. Pullman, and other women prominent in social and artistic circles in Chicago, and the Absolute mystery which surrounded her disappearance attracted public interest. She dropped out of the routine of | her work and studies, carrying with her a volume of Bulwer's "A Strange Story" 'and a copy 'of "The Machiavelli," both books treating the mystic and occult. These books were found at the foot of Pine street and the lake in Win- netka. For a week a of nation-wide search was conducted. Then one day Miss Potter walked into Mrs. Scott Du- rand's Crab Tree estate at Lake Bluff. Before going to the sanitarium she spent several days with friends in Winnetka. There never was an explanation of the disappearance. Mrs. Durand ad- vanced the theory that the spirit of William T. Stead, philosopher and spiritualist, led Miss Potter to Crab Tree Farm after her wanderings, in- duced by a temporary aberration re- suling from her too ambitious studies. Her work had worn down her con- stitution. She went to a sanitarium at Kenosha, but her stay there did not appear to have any effect. She tried sanitarium after sanitarium, physician after physician, but failed to get back the health she had sac- rificed for her art. Then Mrs. Pullman recommended that she go to the sanitarinm at Asheville. There in October, 1917, she met Dr. Carroll. Yesterday she returned to Chicago with her health and her physician, now her husband. it The East Elm Street Circle will hold a special meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles IL.
