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.
