On This Day In 1936 Claudie Hallie Rose Prim & Virgil Greer Lingle Eloped.
They kept it secret and she continued to live in the "girls" dorm and he in the "boys" dorm at Arkansas Tech for the rest of the school year. Only Claudie's sister Helen knew. "Boys" had to be 21 to marry without parental consent which they didn't have and he was only 18, so it wasn't exactly legal. His kids never cared what this made them technically and didn't mind being called same. Greer and Claudie stuck together for 62 years. They were about half way along when these pictures were taken.
