Martha Cahoon - Marriage

Marriage

In 1930 Martha Farham met Ralph Cahoon and, although she was five years his senior, they started a lifelong romance. In 1932 they were married by a justice of the peace and soon moved a few towns away to Osterville. As they started their lives together, Martha taught Ralph her family's business and soon they had their own thriving business refinishing, decorating, and selling antique furniture. They would soon outgrow their Osterville home and re-locate to a house in Cotuit that provided them ample space to grow their business.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
