Marriages (July19)

A quiet wedding in which a large number of the people of Afton will be interested, took place last Sunday afternoon, May 16, 1920, at the Presbyterian parsonage on Spring street when Morton B. Cooper of Owego, N.Y., and Miss Wealtha A. Sprague of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], were united in marriage by the bride's pastor, Dr. J.J. Francis, of the Presbyterian church.  The bride looked very charming in a dark blue tailored suit with a Persian vest, and a flower turban, and the groom, as he had reason to do, looked exceedingly happy.  The bridesmaid and groomsman were Miss Alta Shelton of Sidney and Orson L. Thorpe of Bainbridge.  Mrs. Cooper is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Sprague and has a host of friends in Afton, where she has been so widely and favorably known for several years in connection with the post office and the telephone exchange, and in social circles all of whom will wish the young couple a long and happy wedded life--Afton Enterprise.  [Bainbridge Republican, May 20, 1920]
