"In the grey and gold of the October glow," Wednesday morning, the 16th at eleven o'clock, and in the presence of a few relatives, a very pretty and happy wedding was celebrated, in the quiet retreat of China, a suburban settlement, a few miles from Deposit [Delaware Co., NY]. It was at the home of Moses R. Axtell, the father of the bride, when his daughter, Miss Lydia Ophelia Axtell, was given in marriage to Herbert Mosher Ramsdell, son of Erwin Ramsdell of this village, Bainbridge [Chenang Co., NY]. The Rev. Mr. Percy, Baptist clergyman from Deposit cemented the union. The bride was attired in a blue cloth travelling suit, simple, modest and sweet in air and design. After the wedding ceremony a fine collation was served and while lingering over the viands there was a flow of joyous sentiment emanating from the event of the preceding hour, and many were the predications of happiness for the passage down life's journey. Mr. and Mrs. Ramsdell left the same afternoon for New York to spend a few days in travel and upon their return will reside in Bainbridge. Mrs. Ramsdell attended the Oneonta Normal school and upon her graduation entered upon a responsible position in the Bainbridge Academy which she held for three years, closing her service this last summer. She was a most admirable and thorough teacher, gentle and refined in deportment, lovable and loved, and will be received in her new sphere as a welcome resident of our place. Mr. Ramsdell is an enterprising young citizen, interested in all projects for the benefit of his town and a member of the firm of Ramsdell & Son furniture dealers of Bainbridge.
A quiet home wedding took place on Wednesday evening of last week at the home of Mr. Herrick Searles on North Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], when his adopted daughter [Della Rene Underwood Searles] was married to Mr. James B. Williams, a prosperous groceryman of Bainbridge. The marriage ceremony was a brief one and was performed by the Methodist clergy man, Rev. C.H. Sacket. The bride was prettily attired and looked very sweet and modest in the dress prepared for the occasion. A wedding supper followed the marriage rite, the table being handsomely laid and decked with flowers the bride had tastefully arranged. Flowers predominated everywhere in the home. Mrs. Williams has been a pupil in our school, is an attendant of the Methodist church where she has been active in Epworth League work, and is recognized as one of our best young ladies. Mr. Williams is a good business man and is highly respected. He was supposed to be a confirmed bachelor, but he is to be congratulated upon his conversion to matrimony and upon his admirable selection in a wife. A new feature inaugurated in this wedding and one that should generally prevail, was the work given out that there would be no wedding presents. Mr. Williams does not endorse this practice common in marriages. The wedding trip was also omitted but will be taken shortly when the groom takes his wife to a handsome home nearly completed on Academy street. Mr. and Mrs. Williams start out upon the journey of life under the most happy auspices and the Republican send them greeting with wishes for endless happiness. [Notation: Sept 8, 1897]
A pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Titus Moss Bixby on Second street, Deposit, N.Y. [Delaware Co.], Wednesday evening, November 12th, when their grand-daughter, Luella, was united in marriage to Frederic William C. Carl, formerly of Great Bend. At 7 o'clock the contracting parties took their place before a bank of ferns and potted plants in the prettily decorated parlor, where the marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Beaumont, rector of the Episcopal church of Deposit. The bride wore a dress of white organdie and the groom was dressed in dark blue. Only the near relatives and immediate friends of the family were present.....The many beautiful and useful presents which they received show the high esteem in which the young couple are held. After refreshments were served Mr. and Mrs. Carl left the house amid a shower of rice and took Erie train no. 29, and came to great Bend where they will spend a few days. [Notation: 1892]
