Toledo, O., Aug. 8 (U.P.) - A ro-
mance that has endured through
long years of suffering and patience
will have its happy reward
August 9, when Dorothy Christine
Moebius and Paul Metzger are
married m St. Catherine of Sienna
church.
The moment when Dorothy
walks down the aisle of the church
with only a scarcely noticeable
limp, will be one she has looked
forward to from an invalid's bed
and a wheelchair.
In 1923, when the girl was 12,
she received a serious injury. Riding
on a bicycle, she was struck
by an automobile convoy-an immense
trailer carrying nine auto
bodies.
The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Moebius, began a long
struggle to restore their daughter
to health.
The romance between Dorothy
and Paul began six years ago,
when Dorothy was still in high
school and walking on crutches
Young Metzger, whose home is in
Delphos, O., came to Toledo to
work for Moebius, his fiancee's
operator of a vegetable
greenhouse.
The two have gone together
steadily working and planning for
Dorothy's recovery. As soon as she
would be recovered sufficiently
they planned to wed.
