Mrs. Robert Bandini Dies Following Her Elopement With Oakland Boy
Mrs. Robert Bandini, bride of the Oakland youth who shared in the noted De Baker estate of Los Angeles. Heroine of an elopement, and of thrilling events that culminated in parental forgiveness for the young couple, is dead today at a hospital in Santa Rosa, where she and her youthful husband had lived on a ranch since their marriage had been forgiven.
Bandini is the son of Mrs. Rith McMahon of Oakland, and lived here and in San Francisco for some time. His bride was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. P.L. Harris of Fulton. The couple eloped about a year ago in Bandini's big racing car. Later Mrs. McMahon retained attorneys to have the marriage annulled, alleging that her son was not yet 21. She finally relented, and parental blessing and the ranch were forthcoming. Young Bandini was later sued by Amanda Patton, wife of "Billy" Patton of Los Angeles who alleged that the young had libeled her. The young couple figured in an automobile accident a week after their elopement, when the $6000 car in which they had eloped ran into another machine. The stormy honeymoon finally ended on the Santa Rosa ranch. The couple was planning a magnificent new home there when the bride suddenly became ill. She was taken to a hospital in Santa Rosa, and specialists were summoned, but she failed to rally. Mrs. McHahon has left Oakland to assist in the funeral arrangements at Santa Rosa.
