Marriages (August 27)

June is a month of roses, beautiful birds, brides and wedding bells and Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] is not without its quota of these charms.  Last Wednesday morning, June 19, 1912, at the home of Mrs. G.S. Graves a pretty and attractive wedding occurred when Mrs. Graves was united in marriage to Daniel T. Banner of this place.  As the town clock struck the hour of nine the couple stood before a bank of beautiful ferns and flowers artistically arranged.  The Rev Frank James read the episcopal wedding service and officially announced their union.  The happy couple then received cordial congratulations from the invited guests.  They were the recipients of many valuable and useful gifts.  The Sunday School class of the bride presented a beautiful rug.  Both persons are highly esteemed and popular, having a host of friends in the best circles of our village.  The bridal party left for an extended trip after which they will spend the summer months at Ocean Grove.  Mr. and Mrs. Banner expect to return home sometime in October.  Their many friends wish them a happy honeymoon, a successful season at the Nation's most popular summer resort, Ocean Grove, and a safe return to Bainbridge with its splendid people and beautiful environs.
 
A very pretty home wedding, with only the near relatives of the bride and groom as guests, was held at the home of L.B. Anderson on the East side last Sunday at six o'clock, when Miss Kathlein M. Godfrey the only daughter of Mrs. Anderson, was united in marriage to Mr. Benjamin Every of Binghamton.  The officiating clergyman was the Rev.Hh.T. Hill in the absence of Rev. L.L. Weller of St. Peter's church of which the bride is a member.  The many friends of the young couple join in wishing them happiness and prosperity in their new home in Binghamton.

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Bentley on Pearl street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] Monday evening, April 20, when their youngest daughter, Ethel Dell, of this place, was united in the Holy bonds of matrimony to Lester A. Kilpatrick, of Schenevus.  Promptly at nine o'clock to the strains of a wedding march played on the piano by Mrs. Andrews, a sister of the bride, the bride and groom were ushered into the parlor and took their places beneath an arch of evergreens, where they were joined in wedlock by Rev. Egbert Kilpatrick, father of the groom.  After Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick had received the congratulations of their friends they were escorted to the dining room where all were served with a bounteous collation.  Then followed a delightful hour the guests being entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick with charming music on piano and violin.  The bride was gowned in a robe of white French lawn and carried white roses.  Her traveling suit was of navy blue suiting with hat to match.  The groom wore the accustomed suit of black.  The bride is one of Bainbridge's talented young ladies and is held in high esteem by her many friends here and elsewhere.  The groom is the second oldest son of Rev. and Mrs. Egbert Kilpatrick, of Schenevus, formerly of this place.  Mr. Kilpatrick is a fine musician and is highly regarded both in a social and business way.  Among the numerous presents from their host of friends were silverware, cut glass, oil paintings, china, rugs, chairs and other useful as well as ornamental gifts....Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick left on the midnight train for New York city and other points of interest in that vicinity.  They will be in Bainbridge to receive their friends after May first.  The Republican joins all in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick a happy and safe voyage through life. 

Dr. R.A. Johnson, our popular young dentist, left on Tuesday morning of this week for Bergen, N.Y., and on Wednesday, March 24th, at 3 p.m. at the home of the bride's parents, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Pocock of that village.  After a brief wedding journey the young couple will return to Bainbridge, and will reside in the Amon Case house, on Pruyn Hill, recently occupied by W.D.Winters.  Since coming to Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] last October Dr. Johnson has won the respect and esteem of all who have met him and during the past week several social functions have been given in his honor.  On Thursday evening last, about twenty of his friends met at the home of Miss Josephine Palmer and passed a very pleasurable evening.  One of the features of the evening's program was a mock wedding which caused much merriment.  Dr. Johnson was presented with several very useful kitchen utensils.  On Saturday evening Mrs. Ray Husted gave a dinner, only the family and table boarders, among whom was Dr. Johnson, being present.  A very fine course dinner was served which was followed by short speeches and toasts.  A very dainty little book had been prepared containing a short history of the lives of those present, since their arrival in Bainbridge.  this was read during the evening, and was thoroughly enjoyed.  Dr. Johnson was presented with a set of solid silver spoons and a pair of solid silver sugar tongs.  Those participating in the affair were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Husted, Miss Moulter, Miss Page, Miss Van Ness, Miss Butler, Homer D. Owens, Mr. Perry and Mr. Oakes, Bainbridge friends extend hearty congratulations and will gladly welcome Dr. Johnson and his bride upon their return to our village.  [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 25, 1909]
