Coventry [Chenango Co., NY]: At eleven o'clock last Thursday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Hungerford, occurred the marriage of their only daughter, Ora E. to Rollin C. Pratt of Fenton [Broome Co., NY]. The lower rooms of the house filled as they were with seventy-five guests, presented a bright and handsome appearance when the hour for the ceremony arrived and many were the expressions of pleasure at the fine scene. Boughs of hemlock and ferns made a splendid background for this beautiful occasion. To the music of the wedding march rendered by Mrs. Julia Paddleford, the wedding party entered the sitting room and took their places under the arch, which was tastefully decorated in evergreens and flowers and there the officiating clergyman, Rev. Grant E. Van Woert of Scheneveus, solemnized the marriage ceremony. The bride was richly gowned in blue silk dotted mull and wore a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The groom wore a suit of mixed goods. Wilson Paddleford acted as best man and Mae Page was bridesmaid. The maids of honor were Flora Lounsberry, Pearl Cohoon, Cora Lounsberry and Virgie Van Woert. After the ceremony, dinner was served and soon the happy couple were on their way to Scranton and other places to visit relatives. In the front room of the house there was a handsome display of wedding gifts. The presents were numerous and beautiful including silverware, chairs, rockers, lamps, tablecloths, counterpanes, toilet sets, two sets of silver teaspoons, silver butter knife, sugar spoons, one couch, towels and a nice sum of money. Both the bride and groom have a large circle of friends in this place and Fenton. After visiting Scranton, Stella, Lestershire, Binghamton, they will reside at the bride's home for the remainder of the year. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 13, 1902]
A very pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schweitzer on Wednesday, November 12, 1902, the contracting parties being Charles Drachler and Miss Katherine Schweitzer, both of Guilford [Chenango Co.,, NY], the bride being the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schweitzer. The house was beautifully decorated with evergreens and white and yellow chrysanthemums, the work of young lady friends of the bride. At an early hour the guests began to arrive, and as the time approached for tying the nuptial knot the parlors were well filled. At the appointed hour the strain of the wedding march were heard rendered by Mrs. J.M. Horton. The bridal couple entered the parlor preceded by Ernest Humphrey a best man and Miss Bertha Schweitzer, sister of the bride, as bridesmaid, followed by the bride leaning on the arm of her betrothed. The bride was handsomely dressed in gray trimmed with white and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The bridesmaid was similarly dressed and carried yellow chrysanthemums. They took their stand under an evergreen arch banked by ferns, and from the center of which was suspended a beautiful white dove. Here they were met by the Rev. Albert Salls, pastor of the First Congregational church, who using the beautiful service of the ring pronounced them husband and wife, in the presence of one hundred and fifty relatives and friends assembled. The congratulations which followed were many and varied. The company then repaired to the dining room where all enjoyed the good things the hostess known so well how to prepare, followed with ice cream made under the supervision of Chris Toby of Bainbridge. The wedding gifts were numerous and costly, manifesting the high esteem and good will of the many friends of the bride and groom. Guests were present from Norwich, Sherburne, Bainbridge, Gilbertsville, Sidney and Coventry as well as Guilford. The bride and groom are highly respected and esteemed young people and their numerous friends will wish them all happiness and prosperity in their future home, on the farm owned by the groom situated about one mile south of Guilford Center. At a late hour the company departed. The whole affair was joyful and pleasant, a fitting tribute we hope for a life of happiness---One who was there. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 20, 1902]
