About fifty guests assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.D. Sherwood on Wednesday morning last, to witness the marriage of their daughter, Grace, to Mr. Fred Norris, of New York.  The house was fragrant with roses, the day was perfect, and the numerous and costly presents testified to the esteem in which the young couple are held.  Mr. Norris is a brother of Mrs. Frisby, the wife of Rev. Wm. Frisby, the officiating clergyman.  The bride has always lived among us and general regret is expressed at her going away.  After an elegant collation the bridal party left for New York, which they intend to make their future home, after spending a few weeks at the sea shore.  [Notation:  July 6, 1892]

Virgil Andrews and Mrs. Henrietta Church were joined in matrimony on Tuesday Oct. 10.  Mr. Andrews has always been one of our finest young men, and now that he has joined the Church we sincerely hope he will continue to be even better than ever before.  We wish them success.  [Notation:  1893]

A very pretty wedding took place at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. C.M. Frisbee, at 5 o'clock, Wednesday evening, when their adopted daughter, Miss Louisa M. Frisbee, was united in marriage to Mr. Eugene Richards, of Rochester, N.Y., by the Rev. R.H. Stearns of the Presbyterian church of Bainbridge.  There were a few intimate friends of the bride present as guests.  Mr. Joseph Hirt acted as groomsman and Miss Clara Thomas as bridesmaid.  As the wedding march was being played by Mrs. R.H. Stearns, the bridal party entered the parlor which had been transformed into a bower by the skillful arrangement of many plants and beautiful flowers.  The bride looked very sweet in a dress of delicate lavender and white lace and an accompaniment of flowers.  The bridesmaid, Miss Thomas, was becomingly attired in a dress of yellow silk with lace and flowers.  After the ceremony the dining room was thrown open and choice refreshments were served intermingled with the gaiety, wit and sentiment inspired by the occasion.  Mr. and Mrs. Richards left at 8 o'clock the same evening for Rochester, which will be their future home.  Mrs. Richards was one of our most estimable young ladies and will be greatly missed from church and social circles.  [Notation:  July 1894]
