Out of Town Couples Seek Gretna Green in Fairfield
Fairfield reports three New York City couples sought marriage licenses but were refused under a five day state notice rule. The court noted a proviso allowing licenses at the clerk’s discretion, but none were granted. The tale underlines Fairfield’s Gretna Green reputation and hints it may fade as couples depart empty handed. A July to August local court case and other town happenings follow, including a mid summer dance, paving work, a new house, a firemen’s carnival, and funeral services for Samuel A. Wakeman.
