Marriages (June 26)

 
The home of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Watrous on Mt. Pleasant [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], was the scene of a delightful Christmas wedding on Thursday last, when their daughter, Miss Clara Adella, was joined in happy wedlock with Mr. Frank James Rivenberg.  The Rev. Chas. D. Reed performed the ceremony at high noon in the presence of about forty friends, the contracting parties standing beneath two silver horse shoes suspended form an arch of green.  The attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Weeks.  A bounteous wedding dinner was served at the close of the ceremony, places of honor being occupied by the bridal party, and Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Burrows of this village, whose nuptials were celebrated the day previous.  The wedding gifts, consisting of articles of silverware, furniture, tableware and linen, were very numerous and beautiful.  Mr. and Mrs. Rivenberg, who are both active members of the Baptist church and popular among the young people of the village, will be at home to their friends after Jan. 1, at Mt. Pleasant.  [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 1, 1902]
 
A pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of Frank A. Doolittle at Rockdale, N.Y [Chenango Co.]., Wednesday, Dec. 24, at 3 o'clock p.m., when Miss Jessie E. Harwood, daughter of Mr. William  H. Harwood of this village, was united in marriage with Mr. Charles D. Marble of Rochester, N.Y.  The bride was attended by Miss Daisy Doolittle of Binghamton, and Mr. Ely R. Marble of South Hill, a brother of the groom, acted as best man.  Miss Jessie Doolittle of Binghamton, played the wedding march as the bridal party entered the room and took their places under an arch of evergreens where they were met by the Rev. Charles D. Reed of Bainbridge, who performed the ceremony, using the beautiful ring service.  After the congratulations had been extended the company sat down to a delightful wedding feast, the tables being very tastefully decorated with holly.  About twenty of the immediate families and friends of the happy couple were in attendance.  After a short wedding visit Mr. and Mrs. Marble will take up their residence in a pleasant home already furnished at Rochester, N.Y.  The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and useful presents.
