Elopement -June 1900
Fred Graves of Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], was up before Justice W.H. Pierce of that town for examination Monday, accused of abducting his step granddaughter, May Vandebro, last Thursday night. He was held for the grand jury, and in default of $400 bail was taken Monday night to the county jail at Delhi. Graves is 25 years old and he came to Sidney last October and boarded with Mrs. Eliza Dean, a widow fifty-five years of age. In April Graves and Mrs. Dean were married by the Rev. F.C. Barrett, pastor of the First Baptist church of Sidney. Mrs. Dean's granddaughter May Vandebro lived with them and Dean's attentions to the young lady were so marked that his wife grew jealous. A crisis came Thursday night when Mrs. Dean ordered the Vandebro girl to leave the house. The girl went at 10 o'clock and Dean with her. The mother, Mrs. Ida Vandebro, the daughter of Mrs. Graves, swore out a warrant charging Graves with abduction. It was placed in the hands of Officer Barney Dickinson, who arrested the runaway couple near Oxford. They were brought to Sidney the next night and Graves was locked up to await his hearing. Graves and the girl swore that they wandered around the country most of the night that they were gone, sleeping part of the time under a large tree. Farmers near East Guilford claim that they spent the night in a barn near that place.
