STILL LOOKING FOR A
Woman With 8 Kids Turns
Artist Down on Marriage Offer
Salt Lake City (UP) Elena LeBaron has turned down Cedric
Von Ralleston as a prospective husband, so the red-haired artist
said he'd look for a "Hollywood
no kids."
Mrs. Lebaron has eight young
children and is looking for a
spouse to support them. She's
received 400 applications, but
Von Ralleston, arriving by air
Thursday from Havanna, 111.,
was the first to press his cam
paign in person.
The dutch-born muralist who
claims New Orleans as his home
said earlier there was only one
chance in a million that Mrs.
Lebaron would not marry him.
He proposed seconds after he
got to town.
But Mrs. Lebaron decided she
wasn't interested in him.
"He's trying to high pressure
me," she charged indignantly.
' Besides, he's too short."
Von Ralleston is about three
inches shorter than the Utah di
vorce. "I couldn't marry anyone I
didn't love," she continued. "So
it look like I'll end up the way
I am."
The flying artist was miffed
at the rebuff, besides, he found
after surveying the well-filled
four rooms of the mortgaged
Lebaron home that he didn't
like children as much as he
thought.
His departure should help the
chances of Ross Lebaron, the
divorcee's mechanic - inventor
husband, of winning back Mrs.
Lebaron before their divorce be
comes final next month.
"I still love her and my beau
tiful family," Lebaron said, an
nouncing he's written a song
called "Urn Lame in My Heart"
and will give the children the
proceeds from it if its pub
lished. Funeral Services
For Mrs. Tyrell
Graveside services were held
at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the
IOOF cemetery for Mrs. Myrtle
Tyrell, 193 N. Commercial, who
was found dead In her apart
ment by police.
Officers were summoned
when C. C. Engstrom, 575 N.
Capitol, became worried over
the fact that a note, which his
wife had left stuck In the de
ceased woman's apartment door
a week or more ago, was still
there.
Mrs. Tyrell was found on the
floor of her apartment, appar
ently dead of natural causes by
police who entered her dress
making establishment above
Busick's market.
Police surmised she had been
dead at least a week. Some $355
found In the apartment, was
turned over to administrators
for her estate. '
Although a list of relatives
was found, no' addresses" were
available.
The Salem Rebekah lodge ar
ranged funeral services.
