The Courant’s Winsted correspon
dence has the following:
Miss Katherine Ryan of Winsted,
who is well known to many Hartford
people as a singer in vaudeville the
aters, was married a few weeks ago
to Walter Gahan of Putnam, who is
on the force of the state highway
commissioner. The wedding took
place in Pomfret. Miss Ryan sang
for some time at the Scenic Theater,
which was in the old Church of the
Redeemer building in Main street.''
HAD A GOOD TIME, BUT—
Old soldiers who were at Gettys
burg are arriving home. They had a
good time hut the attitude of the great
majority from this section seems to
he expressed by the following from a
letter to the Hartford Courant by
their special correspondent:
“Are you coming down this way
again,” is the question often asked,
and the answer is always: "Not on
your natural life. You couldn’t hire
me to come here again, if you spread
strawberry shortcake all the way
from Barkbamsted to Gettysburg.”
Every one is sicn. and disgusted at the
way things have eventuated. The con
ditions in camp, the grasping attitude
of the people, the terrible heat, and
a thousand other little, irritating dis
comforts."
MISSED HER FOOTING
And Miss Merrill Stepped in Water
Over her Head
Miss Eleaner Merrill, who is the
leading lady in the company now
playing at Wildwood Park, had a
thrilling experience Monday after
noon when attempting to step from a
landing into a row boat. The boat
pushed away from her and she was
precipitated into the water which
was over her head at this point. Not
being able to swim she went to the
bottom of the lake. As she came up
she had the presence of mind to
grasp the boat and held on till help
arrived.
