Marriages (July 17)

At 8 o'clock Wednesday evening June 30th, Lilla J. Hollenbeck, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sebert J. Hollenbeck, and Leon F. Weller were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the home of the bride's parents by the Rev. C.H. Sackett.  There were 40 invited guests.  After the ceremony supper was served and the hours following were pleasantly passed with congratulations and music.  Miss Gertrude Weller, sister of the groom, acted as bridesmaid, and Seba B. Hollenbeck, brother of the bride, as groomsman.  The house was prettily decorated with ferns and roses.  The couple were the recipients of a large number of valuable and useful presents.  About 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Weller were missed, they had quietly left the house and escaped the usual parting shower of rice and old shoes much to the disappointment of the party assembled.  After a week's visit in Albany they will return to Bainbridge [Chenango Co.,, NY].  The bride is a graduate of the Bainbridge High school and has taught in a number of schools in this vicinity, giving excellent satisfaction.  She is organist at the M.E. church and an earnest worker in the society.  The groom is a telegraph operator on the D.&H. R.R. he is of a quiet disposition and has many friends in town.  The Express joins with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Weller in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life.  [Notation:  1897]

Ringing of the Tower bell on Saturday, Nov. 26, announced in the traditional Wheaton fashion the engagement of Miss Evalena Moore of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] to Leroy L. Hollenbeck, Senior at Wheaton college, whose home is also in Bainbridge.  Miss Moore travelled 1,000 mile to spend the Thanksgiving week in Wheaton and to celebrate the event.  No definite date has been set for the wedding, however, tentative plans have been made for the late Summer of 1939.  The couple chose Nov. 26 for the announcement because it is the anniversary of Mr. Hollenbeck's brother's marriage two years ago on that date.  Miss Moore plans to enter Wheaton college as a student in the near future, and she has been visiting classes here during her stay.  Mr. Hollenbeck is majoring in Christian Education.  He plans to preach upon completion of his training.  He belongs to the Aristonian Literary society and is a former member of the A. Cappella Choir.  [LMD notation:  1938]

Hollenbeck of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day.  The ceremony was performed by the bride's father.  The attendants were Miss Gladys Dickerson and Lucius Dickerson, sister and brother of the bride.  Before the ceremony a recital was given by Miss Doris Antisdale, Miss Mildred Lundy  on violin and piano and Alton Hollenbeck on his baritone horn.  Miss Dickerson was attired in a soft brown chiffon-velvet dress and carried a shower bouquet of yellow rosebuds, while her attendant wore a dress of royal-blue crepe and carried pink roses.  All who took part in the ceremony wore yellow roses.  The ushers were Leroy Hollenbeck, of Bainbridge, and Grant Cooper, of Hornbrook, Pa.  Following the marriage rite, a wedding dinner was served in the church parlors with about 35 friends and relatives present.  The bridal couple and their immediate families occupied one table, while at the other two tables, friends were gathered.  In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hollenbeck left for Washington, D.C., where they will make their home.  Mrs. Hollenbeck was graduated from Mansfield state Normal School while Mr. Hollenbeck was graduated form Hamilton College....[LMD notation:  1936]
