TOBY-HUMPHREY:  O Thursday Jan. 31st, 1884, by Rev. D.N. Grummon, at the home of Hiram R. Humphrey, Esq., his daughter, Bessie A. Humphrey, to John C. Toby, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY].

One of the happiest events of the season occurred at the residence of Hiram R. Humphrey, Jan. 31st, 1884, it being the marriage of his eldest daughter, Bessie A., to John C. Toby of Guilford.  A select company of relatives and friends gathered in the parlor at the appointed time.  The bridal pair entered, and were met by Rev. D.N. Grummon, who in his usual pleasant and impressive manner, rendered the solemn marriage service.  After that came the hearty congratulations; each wishing the estimable groom and his fair bride a pleasant voyage through the journey of life.  Then followed a repast, which was a credit to the hostess, and each and all showing their appreciation of it by the ample justice which they did to the good things with which the tables were loaded.  We noticed many valuable and useful presents.  The bridal party left town the following morning for a short visit among friends in Delaware county, accompanied by a friend of bride, Miss Fannie Hoyt, followed by the good wishes of a host of friends.
