Image of tree with tangled roots
In our family, the Cliffords and Sughrues have tangled roots. A Clifford brother and sister married a Sughrue sister and brother combination and thus we have a number of double cousins. Because of the closeness of the Clifford's to our Fahey and Sughrue lineage, I have included them on this webpage as part of our family genealogy.

SUGHRUE - QUINN

Suffolk's Able Second Assistant District Attorney Married This Morning

Mr. Michael Joseph Sughrue, the much respected second assistant district attorney of Suffolk County, and Miss Elizabeth Francis Quinn were united in marriage this morning in St. Patrick's Church by the pastor, Rev. Joseph H. Gallagher.

The attendance was very large.

The bride was attired in a costume of rich white crepe de chine, embellished with knots of fine lace. The gown was made high coverage and long sleeves, the train being also of full length and circular.

Above the bridal veil she wore a chaplet of orange blossoms, and a tracery of the same was used as garniture for the bodice, and likewise to adorn the front of her gown.

Instead of a bridal bouquet she carried a diamond rosary.

There were no bridesmaids, the bride's sister, Miss Emma Quinn, attending upon her as maid of honor.

Miss Emma's costume was of fawn-colored crepen, with overdress of lace of a color to correspond with her gown and trimmings of pale blue velvet ribbon. She wore a hat made of tulle to match her gown, and carried a large bunch of jacquimenot roses.

The bridal procession to the altar was in this order: In advance were the ushers, Messers. Joseph and George Quinn, brothers of the bride; Daniel Sughrue, brother of the groom; James McCarthy, J. Porter Crosby and John Campbell.

The maid of honor came next, and behind her walked the bride leaning upon the arm of her father, Mr. Charles W. Quinn.

At the altar rail, attended by his best man, his brother, Mr. D. F. Sughrue, the bridegroom, awaited his bride. Together, attended by the maid of honor and the best man, they entered the sanctuary, and the marriage service was at once performed by the robed and vested celebrant of the nuptial mass which was to follow, and during which they continued to occupy places in the sanctuary.

The score of the mass, which was Weber's, in G, was rendered under the direction of Organist McGoldrick by a quartet consisting of Miss Louise Martins, soprano; Miss Jennie E. McCann, contralto; Mr. J. A. Marmaud, tenor; Mr. J. A. Mullen, basso, and other members of the regular church choir.

While those bidden to the marriage were assembling the organist played a wedding march by Wely. The bridal party entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's march and retired to those of Widor.

At the offertory Miss McCann sang Dana's "Salve Regina."

Of the costumes noticeable for their elegance and richness of material were the following:

Mrs. C. W. Quinn, the bride's mother, a rich gown of myrtle green silk.
Miss Nellie Quinn, mile green crepe de chine.
Miss Margaret Sughrue, lilac silk with lace garniture and velvet ribbon trimming, cut décolleté.
Miss Maime Sughrue, yellow satin, striped challie with lace and yellow ribbon.
Miss Alice Sughrue, white mull.
Mrs. D. Thurston, black grenadine, lavender lace trimmings.
Mrs. A. J. Norton, black foulard silk, jet trimmings.
Miss Millie Carrier, black lace over changeable silk.
Miss Minnie Bolton, cream colored challie, lavender ribbon and lace.
Miss Mamie Lally, ecru figured India silk, point lace trimmings.
Miss Cluin of Lowell, red silk
Miss Delia Carey of Nashua, black lace.
Miss Minnie Sullivan of Nashua, light blue silk.
Miss Margaret Sullivan of Nashua, black silk.
Miss Nellie Sullivan of Nashua, black silk.
