Mr. Freeman M. Bennett of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], and Miss Clara S. Humphrey, daughter of Frank Y. Humphrey of this village, were married last evening, August 20, at the home of the bride, Rev. Charles d. Reed officiating. [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 21, 1902]
Last Thursday evening a numerous gathering of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Gridley of Yaleville [Chenango Co., NY], assembled at their home and celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding in a truly royal style. It was one of the happiest surprises recorded, complete in conception and results, affording pleasure to the brim to those who received this manifestation of the regard of their friends and to those who enjoyed the delight of expressing their affection and friendship for Mr. and Mrs. Gridley. At nightfall friends began to drive up to Mr. Gridley's door in a desultory way, one carriage coming, then another, and another. Mr. and Mrs. Gridley were still unsuspecting of the "method in all this madness," until there came a regular procession and the doorways were filled and the rooms invaded and there numbered eighty or more guests. They came from Norwich, Bainbridge, Oxford, Guilford and elsewhere, and the occasion was one of joyful congratulation. But this band of conspirators had come loaded with gifts and a variety of refreshments to emphasize the pleasure of the evening. Rev. Mr. Olmstead of Guilford in behalf of the friends presented Mr. and Mrs. Gridley with a set of dining room chairs which began their first service that night; also a sewing machine sent by Mr. Gridley's mother, Mrs. Rathbon of Chicago; some delicate art work on canvass and china painting by Miss Hattie Yale, and some money by various ones who wished the host and hostess to purchase a souvenir in remembrance of the special anniversary. Then followed the wedding supper which carried Mr. and Mrs. Gridley back to the wedding feast of fifteen years ago. It was a late hour when the guests departed leaving behind and taking away with them pleasurable memories. Those present from Bainbridge were: Mr. and Mrs. Fremont Bentley, Mr. and Mrs. George Bentley, Mr. and Mrs. John Toby, Mr. and Mrs. Uriah Toby and Mr. and Mrs. Oris Toby.
