 GoRHAM-sTURGES
 One of the prettiest house weddings that has ever taken place in Southport was that, Wednesday, June l, of Miss Anna B. Sturges and John A. Gorham, at the residence of the brides mother, Mrs Henry Sturges. The ceremony was performed by Rev Dr Guilbert, rector of Trinity church. The bride was attired in rich cream corded silk, trimmed with moire ribbons, corsage of bengaline silk and beautiful lace, an heirloom in the family. Miss Ruth o. Sturges, niece of the bride, was maid of honor. She was attired in gray cashmere, trimmed with chiffon. The two small nephews of the bride, Shelton and Thorpe Sturges acted as pages and were dressed in white. The bride and groom received the con- gratulations of their many friends under an arch of white flowers and evergreens. The home was beautifully decorated; 1; massive banks of flowers were over the mantels. A bountiful collation was served by Dunn of Bridgeport. The happy pair left on the 4 54 train for an extended tour; on their return, Mir and Mrs Gorham will reside in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mir Gorhams gift to his bride was a pair of diamond earrings. Miss Sturges was secretary of the Sasquanaug associ- ation from it's foundation, a position which she ably and conscientiously filled and, in appreciation of her services, the executive committee of the association presented her with an elegant secretary of quartered oak. The maid of honor received a watch chain and pendant as souvenir from the bride. Guests were present from New York, Brooklyn, New Rochelle, Bridgeport, Stratford, Birm- ingham and other places.
