Marriages (July 12)

The following is taken from The Binghamton Chronicle of Saturday, March 18 which announces the marriage of Miss Millie Cannon of Binghamton [Chenango Co., NY], who formerly lived here and was highly esteemed:  "Only the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends attended the wedding of Miss Amelia Cannon and former Sheriff Fred P. Ockerman, but nevertheless a very large n umber of friends extend heartiest congratulations.  The ceremony was performed Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's father, W.H. Cannon, Virgil St.  The parlors were tastefully decorated with palms and cut flowers, and an arch of palms marked the position of the bride and groom.  Miss Anita Miller played the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, and while the ceremony was being performed DeKoven's "O, Promise Me," Rev. Dr. McVey officiated.  The bridal gown was of white organdie, lace trimmed.  A wedding supper was served.  The out of town guests were Prof. and Mrs. G.R. Preston of Ithaca, and John Cannon of Brockton.  After April the tenth, Mr. and Mrs. Ockerman will be at home at No. 10 Edwards St.  [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 22, 1899]
