Miss Consuela Cuneo Wed to L. L. Cooke Jr.
The marriage of Consuela Cuneo, 19, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Cuneo, to Leslie Lyman Cooke Jr., of Winnetka, was announced yesterday by Mr. Cuneo, millionaire printing firm head, and Mrs. Cuneo. The announcement simply stated the wedding took place on June 24 and that the couple was leaving last night for an extended honeymoon.
Rumors of the wedding have had North Shore society agog since Wednesday when it was learned the couple had driven in Consuela’s car to Little Rock, Ark., where they obtained a license and were married by a justice of peace in a nearby town.
The Cuneo family refused to comment on the rumors when questioned by the press. Relatives of the Cooke family, likewise secretive, disclosed yesterday that the newlyweds had returned here by plane the following day but
did not attend the debut that night of Cooke's sister, Beverly, at the family estate at 141 Sheridan rd. in Winnetka.
Friends of both families said the elopement came as a complete surprise. The bride had been engaged to Lt. J. Channon Bowes of Highland Park, serving aboard the aircraft carrier Wasp, now cruising in the Mediterranean.
Their engagement was announced last New Years day at a dinner at the Cuneo home, Hawthorne Farms, Libertyville.
The bridegroom, an Insurance broker, was previously married to Pamela Churchill Watson, member of a prominent North Shore family. They were divorced recently. They have one child. Cooke is the son of the late Leslie Cooke, founder of an electrical engineering college. He served in five major engagements with the marine corps in the Pacific and was wounded at Iwo Jima.
