          SHELBYVILLE -- The first definite news of the whereabouts of  Carl Rafferty  and  Miss Bessie Ruth Roszell,  who disappeared from here early this month, reached here when a postcard came from Detroit, Mich., to  Miss Louella Roszell, signed "Mrs. Carl Rafferty," indicates the couple had wed.  Parental objections caused the couple to slip away.  Rafferty is a son of  George L. Rafferty,  a wealthy farmer and former trustee of VanBuren Township.
