Most accounts of Amelia Earhart’s life barely mention her wedding, except to say she got married-reluctantly. The 2009 movie Amelia, starring Hilary Swank, shows her getting married outside, despite the early February date. Excerpt from Amelia Earhart Was Married Here: Mary Anderson, Curator of the Noank Historical Society, confirmed what my breakfast companion Barbara told me-that Earhart was secretly married in a simple civil ceremony in the square, flat-roofed house I found on Church Street. Learning I was including this information in a book about the area, Mary said, You tell everybody that the wedding scene portrayed in the movie [Amelia] is inaccurate. My husband’s grandfather, the Groton probate judge, performed the ceremony, and my father-in-law, Robert Anderson, a young Noank lawyer at the time, attended as a witness. When the judge congratulated her after the ceremony, calling her Mrs. Putnam, she replied, ‘Please sir, I prefer Miss Earhart.’ Note: This booklet, Amelia Earhart Was Married Here, is an excerpt from the book, Mystic Seafarer’s Trail.
