News From Barnegat, 1901
From the New Jersey Courier 17 Jan 1901:
The Tom Thumb wedding in the Methodist Church last Friday evening was a perfect success in every way. The bridal party composed of the little ones dressed to imitate their mommas and papas looked very sedate and ministerial. A reception was held after the ceremony and even to the wedding breakfast was reenacted, the bride cutting her wedding cake in the latest fashionable cut. The other parts of the program given by older talent was well rendered and received by an appreciative audience. The entire program was repeated on the following evening to as large if not larger audience than attended the first.
Mrs. F.K. Cranmer of Beardsley, Minn., has been visiting Mrs. A.M. Cox.
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Spader and daughter are visiting at J .S. Storm's.
A donation was tendered to the Rev. O.W. Wright, pastor of the Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening of this week.
Extra meetings are being held in the Methodist Church.
There has been considerable sickness, principally grip, among our people, but all are now in a fair way of recovery.
Mrs. Edith Carter, relict of the late William Carter, died at the residence of her daughter on Tuesday morning, January 15th, in her 81st year. Her funeral will be held on Thursday.
Mrs. A. Phillips, of St. Paul, Minn., has been visiting relatives here.
Benjamin Predmore recently sold his oyster lot situated in the lower part of the Wide Place, Soper and Hollingsworth being the purchasers.
Pike fishermen are now catching some fish.
Gunners are not gettting many fowl though they are gunning strong around the stoves of certain stores every evening.
A number of cases of grip in town, Drs. Bennett, Miller and Barrett (the latter is the resident physician of Manahawkin) are kept busy attenending patients.
Among those who have been on the sick list for a considerable length of time and who are not in that favorable state of convalsescence that we would like to report are Vincent Inman and E.S. Jones.
Captains Wright and Predmore and William A. Taylor are at home this winter.
