Marriages (September 26)

Married, at the home of the bride, East side, Thursday, March 28, 1907, Miss Carrie L. Coombs and Earl Ellis Burton, of Hamilton [Madison Co., NY], Rev. B.A. Gates, officiating.   A niece of the bride, Miss Hazel Weeks, acted as bridesmaid, and Raymond Allen, of Afton, as best man.  The bride was attired in cream voile and carried white carnations.  After the ceremony and congratulations of the few intimate friends and relatives present, a dainty supper was served and the happy couple left on the evening train for their future home in Hamilton, with the best wishes of the many friends of the bride for their future happiness and prosperity.  [Bainbridge Republican,  April 11, 1907]
 
A quiet wedding occurred Sunday April 12, 1907, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.G. Hill, when their daughter, Miss Nancy Pearl and Bruce S. Keator were married, the Rev. J.F. Shaw, performing the ceremony.  F.E. Keator, father of the groom, drove to Bainbridge with the happy couple, where they took the east bound train for a short trip.  Mrs. Keator has always lived here and is a most esteemed young lady.  Mr. Keator is an only son of Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Keator, assisting his father in the grocery store.  The young couple have many friends who unite in wishing them happiness and prosperity.  They will continue to reside in Afton [Chenango Co., NY].  [Bainbridge Republican, Apr. 18, 1907]
 
Tuesday evening of last week Miss Grace Lingee, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Lingee, and Mr. Estle Shaw, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Philetus Shaw, both of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], were very quietly married at the Baptist parsonage by Rev. Henry Hill.  Indeed, it was so quiet that for several days no one knew what had occurred.  This week as the news began to be circulated, many were at first, loath to believe the report, and it is safe to say that Mr. and Mrs. [Shaw] completely surprised everyone.  The newly married couple are popular young people of Afton, Mr. Shaw having been a student at the academy this fall.  The Enterprise joins with their many friends in wishing them a happy future.

Adams, pastor of the Otego Methodist church, performed the ceremony before an arch of evergreens, Miss Audrey Adams played the wedding march and sang "I Love You Truly."  The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a street length dress of royal blue velvet with gold accessories and carried a bouquet of pink roses and white carnations.  The matron of honor, Mrs. Robert Sommer, cousin of the bride, wore a navy blue crepe dress with white accessories and carried a bouquet of mixed flowers.  Robert Sommer was the best man.  A reception for about 25 friends and relatives from Otego and Sidney followed the ceremony at the home.  The couple left immediately after for a short wedding trip.  They will make their home in Otego.  The bride's gift to the groom was a black onyx ring, and to her attendant a gold bracelet.  The groom's gift to the bride was a three strand gold necklace and to his attendant, a pair of gloves.  The bride graduated in 1941 from the Otego school and the groom graduated in 1939.
