The wedding of Miss Sarah Griswold
Fitch to Francis Hillhouse, of New
York, at Norwich, Conn.,, the other
night was strange one. Miss Ftch's
mother died on Monday. The date of
the wedding had been fixed for Dc
tober and Mrs. Fitch was to hare
given away her daughter. Her sudden
death upset this arrangement, but
Miss Fitch determined, from serious
impulse, that her husband should re-
ceive his bride from her mothers hand
even though she was dead. The cere-
mony was performed in the big draw
ing-room of the Fitch house. No one
was present save the bride and bride
groom, the minister, and the wit
nesses required by law.
The wedding party gathered near the
coffin in which lay Mrs Fitch. As the
clergyman began the service Miss Fitch
clasped her mothers hand and held il
until the words: 'Who giveth this
woman?" had been spoken, when she
gently replaced it and the ceremony
was finished. Mrs. Fitch was buried
the next day. The Fitch family is @
wealthy one, and the bride is said to
have $500, 900 in her own right.
Mr.. Hillhouse is very well known in
New York society. He is about IS
years old, popular member of the
Calumet and Golf clubs. Ee is d
graduate of Yale of 1879, and one of the
family of Hillhouse so distinguished in
