Pratt-Barber: A very pretty home wedding occured at "The Old Homestead," the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. John Barber, Wednesday, September 16th, when their only daughter Gertrude Amy [Barber], united her future with that of Bert Arthur Pratt, of Harpursville [Broome Co., NY]. The parlors were beautifully decorated with evergreens, ferns and flowers. In one corner was a bower of evergreens, from which was suspended a pure white dove, and in back was banked Lilium Aunatum Lilies. Promptly at two P.M. the bridal couple entered the parlor to the strain of the wedding march played by Mrs. Ansel Parker, where they were met by the Rev. Mr. Parsons, who with a few chosen words, prounced them husband and wife. After congratulations and good wishes had been said, the guests were seated, while a bountiful repast was served. The newly wedded couple received many tokens of love from their numerous friends. The bride is widely known as a most estimable young lady, and the groom is a man of sterling worth. Friends were present from Harpursville, Binghamton, Oxford, Greene, Norwich, Sidney, and So. New Berlin, who saw them start on their wedding journey following them as far as they could with rice and good wishes, trusting that the journey of life so pleasently begun might be continued long and prosperous.
