SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. FOX. - Residents learned with great sorrow and surprise on Sunday morning that Mrs. Annie FOX, of the Crown Inn, had died suddenly on Saturday night. She was 46 years of age. She was of a very happy and kindly disposition, much respected, and the greatest sympathy goes out to Mr. FOX, and his son and daughter, and to the aged parents. The funeral took place at Fivehead on Thursday.
WEDDING OF MR. J. H. RISTE and MISS B. M. ADAMS. - The wedding took place at St. Martin's Church on Thursday of Mr. Joseph Henry RISTE, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph RISTE, of Minton-street, Chard, and Miss Beatrice May ADAMS, youngest daughter of Mrs. ADAMS and the late Mr. Ernest ADAMS, of Sunny-side, Fivehead. The Vicar (the Rev. G. C. FRY) officiated. Miss H. HILLARD played the organ. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Bert. ADAMS, wore a gown of white satin, with veil and wreath of orange blossom, and carried a bouquet of white and red carnations. She was attended as brides-maid by her cousin, Miss Marie BURT, who wore an ankle-length gown of cerise taffeta, with veil and gloves to tone. She also wore a signet ring, the gift of the bridegroom, and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and fern. Mr. Earnest RISTE (brother of the bridegroom) was “best man.” As the bride left the church she was presented by Miss Janet TAYLOR and Miss Jean BAILEY (her nieces) with two silver horse-shoes. A reception of about 30 guests was held at the home of the bride's mother. The presents were numerous and useful.
