The marriage of William D. Osgood the editor of The Windsor Standard, and Miss Ida Laurence, occurred on Wednesday afternoon of last week, at 3 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Emma Laurance, of Windsor, the Rev. Mr. Hoffman performing the ceremony. The guests were the near relatives of the bride and groom. A reception and wedding supper followed the service when the bridal couple left on the late afternoon train for Albany and other places. Mrs. Osgood was a former Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] girl, was born and educated here and resided in our village until about two years ago. She was one of our estimable young women, bright and winsome, pleasant and companionable, and is a bonnie bride, and will prove a model wife. She has many friends in her old home who wish her much happiness. The groom, Mr. Osgood is well and favorably known in Bainbridge. He served upon the Republican staff for some time and leaving Bainbridge became proprietor of The Standard, which he has conducted successfully. He is a young man of talent and energy and is devoted to journalism in which he will doubtless rise high. The Republican extends heartiest congratulations of Mr. and Mrs. Osgood.

This (Wednesday) afternoon the home of Mr. Thos. Drake, who resides on the Dr. Evans farm, was the scene of much enjoyment, the occasion being the marriage of his daughter, Miss Lasiria, to Mr. Frank Boyce, of the Bainbridge Republican office, and also the marriage of another daughter, Miss Daisy, to Mr. Daniel Davis, of Rockdale. The ceremony was performed under an arch of evergreens, Rev. T.F. Hall, of Binghamton, and Rev. Mr. Boyce, of Ouaquaga, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left for a brief trip to Albany and other points of interest and Mr. and Mrs. Boyce will spend their honeymoon at the home of his father in Ouaquaga. About 25 invited guests were present. We extend congratulations.
Afton [Chenango Co., NY]: The recent marriage of Miss Myrtle Carroll, daughter of Lawrence Carroll, prominent Afton lumber dealer, and Robert Quincy, local egg dealer, has cause considerable discussion about the village because of the objection of the bride's father to the match. The marriage took place early in May and did not become public until the night of the Afton High School commencement June 26, although the newlyweds remained in town until that night. During the commencement, the father let it be known that he was anything but pleased, and after the ceremony the bride and groom left town and are still away, although they are expected back at any time now. the ceremony was performed by the Rev. William Adams, pastor of the Afton Baptist Church. Recently the father called upon the Reverend Adams and told the minister in emphatic terms that he did not think he had done right in performing the ceremony. The reverend gentleman defended himself and his action, telling the irate father that both bride and groom were of age, members of his church in good standing, and he saw no reason why he should not do just as he did. The bride became 18 years of age just a few days before the marriage took place. It is understood that the father also had heated discussions with two other prominent citizens of the village, whom he blamed for having taken part in the plans for the marriage. [MHD notation: 1935]
Afton [Chenango Co., NY]: A large party of young men of Afton aroused the neighborhood last evening with "boom booms" and tooting horns when they discovered that one of their pals, Richard Barr, had been married for three weeks and had been keeping the news of the affair away from them. Marshaling their forces at the village square they started on their noisy march to the Barr home on Main Street. Arrived there they insisted that the young groom take them inside and formally present them to his bride, after which they insisted that he join the party. They then proceeded with horns and cannons unabated, to Farnsworth's Spa, where the groom "set up" the cigars for the crowd. Mr. Barr is one of Afton's most popular young men, a member of the Afton town basketball team, and a clerk in the Afton bank. The bride was Miss Elizabeth Jane Harter of Mahfetty, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Barr will reside in Afton. [MHD notation: 1931]
