Marriages (October 10)

Last Saturday afternoon the home of Mr. and Mr. Wm. Barnes, on River street was the scene of a quiet wedding.  Their daughter Miss Effie I. Jacobs, was united in marriage to Mr. Henry C. Durell, of Boston, Mass.  The event passed of  very pleasantly and the happy pair took the D.&H. flyer to Boston, via Albany.  Mrs. Durell is a daughter of Mrs. Wm. Barnes and as Miss Jacobs is well known and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends in Unadilla, Bainbridge and Sidney--Sidney Record.  [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 26, 1898]
 
Miss Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Fisher of Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], was married Sunday afternoon, Oct. 23, at her parents' home, to Pitson J. Cleaver of New York.  Rev. J.S. Crompton of the Methodist church performed the ceremony.  The groom is a Unadilla young man, and with the bride, popular in home society.  Mr. Cleaver is a civil engineer and holds a government position in the Brooklyn navy yard.  The home of the bridal couple will be in Brooklyn.  [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 2, 1898]
 
Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]:  At their home on Mechanic street in this village Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Wheeler celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding, which occurred February 26, 1862.  The interior of their pleasant home was prettily trimmed in crepe paper for the occasion.  The color scheme in the parlor was yellow and white, the decorations reaching from the electrolier to the corners of the room, and prominently on the front wall were the dates "1862 - 1912."  A white wedding bell hung gracefully from the electrolier and another at the entrance to the dining room the whole making a charming effect.  the sitting and dining rooms were similarly trimmed with the exception of the color scheme; the former was pink and white and the latter green and white.  The floral decorations were vases of yellow jonquils and carnations.  Early in the day the guests began to arrive and soon the rooms were comfortably filled.  All were heartily welcomed by the bride and groom of 50 years ago, the latter wearing his brocaded silk wedding vest, which by letting out the strap a hole or two fitted almost as well as it did the day it was made.  after dinner had been served a social time was enjoyed, old times were talked over and old friends gone before tenderly recalled to mind.  Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler received from their friends a colonial silver tea set, a cosy morris chair and a gold piece, all of which came as a surprise as they had requested in their cards of invitation that presents be omitted.  Among those attending from out of town were Mrs. Eva Carrington and son Edward of Auburn; Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Seeley, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hitchman of Norwich; Mr. and Mrs. Randall Wheeler and Mr. and Mrs. B.A. Flemming of Guilford.  Telegrams, letters and postcards were received...[published in the Oxford newspaper of March 1, 1912] 
 
Miss Lillian Grannis and Clayton Wylie were married at the Baptist parsonage last evening by Rev. R.A. Gates.  After the ceremony the young couple returned to the home of Ira Mowry where a wedding supper was served to the immediate relatives.  The bride is a cousin of Mrs. Mowry, with whom she has resided for the past six years.  she is very popular among her friends, all of whom wish her much joy in her new life.  The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wylie and has been connected with his father's market for some time.  The newlyweds will reside at the Wylie home, occupying a suite of rooms on the second floor.  [Notation:  January 1912]
