Marriages (September 5)

Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]:  A very pretty wedding occurred at the home of  Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Keith, on Avery street on Wednesday noon of last week, when their daughter, Miss Bessie G. Keith was united in marriage with Frances T. Macey, of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY].  The ceremony was performed by Rev. A.L. Shear of the Congregational church.  The wedding presents were numerous and valuable consisting of an elaborate service of solid silver, 20 dollar gold pieces, several checks of generous amounts, hand painted china, oil paintings, fine linen, etc.  The newly married pair who were to take the East bound train on the D.&H. road, as a precautionary measure to avoid the customary shower of rice quietly slipped away to Unadilla.  Their bridal tour is expected to cover places in Connecticut, Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Va.  Their future home will be in Binghamton.  [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 15, 1906]

They now have their summer home on Guilford Lake.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Feb. 16, 1933]
