Thursday evening at the home of the bride, Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett, occurred the marriage of Miss Mina Billings, adopted daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett, and Carl H. Scott, the Rev. D.L.

The evening of Monday the 19th instant, about 60 friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred White, East Side [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], gathered at their residence to felicitate them upon their 50th wedding anniversary.  It was a very social function and was greatly enjoyed by each and all; quite a number were present who met for the first time in many years and some were present who assisted at the celebration of their 25th anniversary.  Many tokens of remembrance and good will were received in the shape of gold coin and useful and valuable articles of gold and silver and china, not only from those who attended but from those who could not attend from friends in Minnesota and Michigan, and from those not attending from Schenectady, Sherburne, Greene, Oxford, Guilford, Coventry and Nineveh....Rev. Mr.  Hill of Bainbridge Baptist church gave a brief but very interesting and appropriate address on behalf of the guests which was responded to by Rev. Mr. Roop of Bainbridge Presbyterian church in a very happy manner on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. White, thanking the guests sincerely for their attendance and presents and congratulated Mr. and Mrs. White upon having had the companionship of each other for 50 years and with the hope that they might be spared to each other yet many more years.  A bountiful collation was served and the many guests departing to their respective homes near the "wee small hours" congratulating themselves that they had been enabled to participate in and enjoy such a happy event.  Great praise as well as sincere thanks are due to their daughter Mrs. Llewellen Burrows who labored so diligently, persistently and effectually, to make the occasion so complete a success and the assistance of the only grandchild in serving the guests (Master Paul Burrows 6 years old) adding greatly to their pleasure.  [Bainbridge Republican,  Dec. 29, 1910]
