Marriages (July 4)

Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  A very quiet wedding was solemnized Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock at the Baptist parsonage when Miss Blanche Throop, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miner Throop became the bride of Orson Thorpe.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. M. DeForest Lowen, and the attendants were the bride's parents and Mrs. M.D. Lowen.  The bride was attired in light green chiffon with a wreath of rosebuds and ferns for her hair, also a corsage of matching flowers.  Mrs. Thorpe was graduated from the Bainbridge High school in 1927, and after training in Bellevue hospital in New York for six months, entered the Cortland County hospital school of nursing, from which she later was graduated.  Since that time she has been employed at the Niagara Falls hospital and for the past year has been a nurse in the office of Dr. Edward Danforth of this village.  Mr. Thorpe is mayor of Bainbridge.  Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe left Wednesday morning by automobile for a week's trip to Maine.  [LMD notation:  1936]
