Mrs. George M. Purington:

Mrs. George M. Purington of Hampton, died at the Hale Hospital, Haverhill, Wednesday morning September 19, following an operation for gallstones. She had not been well for some time, but neither herself, her family or her friends realized how serious was her condition and expected to see her about in a few weeks with recovered health. But it was not to be. She had not the vitality to rally and passed into the great beyond just as the sun was rising for another day.

The funeral took place at her late residence on the Little River road, Hampton, Saturday afternoon, and was conducted by the Rev. Edgar Warren. Miss Mary Chase sang sweetly two appropriate selections. The attendance was large and the flowers abundant and beautiful.

Mrs. Purington's maiden name was Alexina Dow, and she was born in Montreal on March 17, 1879, but of American parentage. She was a woman of bright and lively disposition, kindly and sympathetic, a devoted wife and mother, and a remarkable housekeeper. Her realm was her home. She will be much missed. Besides her husband, she leaves a son by a former marriage, Alexander James, of Haverhill, and a brother and sister. All these, and especially husband and son, will have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their great bereavement.

Noyes-Myers:

The Congregational Church was the scene of a brilliant wedding Wednesday evening when two of Hampton's most popular young people, Miss Greta Agatha Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper B. Myers and Roland Isaac Noyes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry I. Noyes, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. Edgar Warren.

The church decorations were unusually attractive, consisting of gladioli, asters and ferns, the pulpit being concealed by a bank of ferns.

A large number of guests, some from out of town, were present, and while they were assembling and the bridal party entering, a fine organ recital was given. While the bridal party retired it was to the majestic and thrilling music of Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride was given away by her father and the double ring service was used.

The matron of honor was Mrs. Louis Seabury, a cousin of the bride, of Portland, Maine,

who was gowned in pearl gray with orchid trimmings, and carried a bouquet of pink rosebuds. The bridesmaids were Miss Ernestine Cole and Miss Ellen Hoitt of Durham, a classmate of the bride. Both were gowned in changeable blue taffeta with silver trimmings, and carried bouquets of sweet peas. All wore silver slippers. The ring bearers were Margaret Noyes in pink organdie, and Virginia Dennett in blue organdie and the flower girl little Elizabeth Toppan in white.

The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Harold Noyes, as best man and the ushers were John Brooks, Otto Syphers of Portsmouth, Randle Young and Dean Merrill, all in conventional evening dress.

The bridal party passed down the center aisle as follows: ushers, bridesmaids, matron of honor, flower girl, ring bearers and bride leaning on the arm of her father. They were met at the altar by the groom and best man and the officiating clergyman. The scene as the mystic words were spoken making the twain one was a strikingly beautiful one. The bride looked lovely in a gown of white satin trimmed with Spanish lace. She wore a tulle veil caught with orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of bride's roses.

After the ceremony a reception was tendered the guests in the chapel of the church, the bridal party and parents of the bride and groom being in the receiving line and there graciously acknowledging the many congratulations. Generous refreshments were served.

Mr. and Mrs. Noyes started later on a bridal trip which will include Haverhill, Boston, Providence and the White Mountains. Upon their return they will be at home to their friends at 34 Highland St., Portsmouth.

The popularity of both was shown by the wealth of beautiful presents they received, consisting of cut glass, colonial glass, silver, china, linen, electroliers, pictures and checks.

Mr. Noyes is a salesman for the Silas Pierce Co., of Portsmouth. Mrs. Noyes is a graduate of the Thomaston, Me. High School and has resided with her parents in Hampton during the past six years, teaching part of the time in New Castle where, as in Hampton, she made many friends. All wish the young couple every success.

Rev. Bernard Christopher, Henry Hobbs and Charles Ball are the delegates from the Baptist Church who are attending the Sunday School Conference in Manchester this week.
