Married at the home of the bride's mother in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], Wednesday July 11th, Miss Carrie Cory to Frank Gill, of Troy, N.Y., Rev. Mr. VanAllen, an Episcopal clergyman from Utica, performing the ceremony. The impressive ring service was used. The rooms were tastefully decorated with ferns and potted plants and the happy couple stood under an arch of evergreens. The bridesmaid was Miss Ella Cory, a sister of the bride, and Fred Gill, of Troy, N.Y., a brother of the groom, acted as best man. Both the bride and bridesmaid were tastefully attired in white and carried roses. The groom wore the conventional black. Following the ceremony, refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, cake and ice cream. There were guests present from Schenectady, Sidney, Bainbridge and Bennettsville. Many beautiful presents testified to the esteem in which the young people are held. A curious circumstance of the occasion is the fact that both bride and groom are deaf mutes having been educated at the Rome school for the deaf. The clergyman was also deaf but not dumb and so read the ceremony to the guests and made the signs of the deaf to the couple. It was both impressive and beautiful and an event of a lifetime to those that could hear. The bride is a niece of Mrs. Teed, of Bennettsville, and is well known to many readers of the Republican who join in wishing the couple much happiness in their new home in Troy, N.Y.

Marriage of Charles B. Sumner and Alice Johnston: A very important event which fills up the cup of human happiness of at least two persons, to the brim, occurred at St. Thomas Church, Armenia, N.Y., on Thursday, Dec. 19th. It is the old story repeated since the world began, and which finds ample justification (as if it should ever seek any) in the divine words, "It is not good for man to be alone." So certainly must have thought Mr. C.B. Sumner, our townsman, and as to the excellence of his opinion none will question. It was a wedding, and Mr. Sumner, was the groom. The bride was the fair daughter of Mr. Samuel Bard Johnston, and the officiating clergyman was the Rev. S.R. Johnston, D.D., Uncle to the bride. No happier event ever occurred in the history of the two who plighted their troth. Mr. Sumner returned to his home on Monday, bringing with him his wife. On Tuesday night a reception was given by them to their friends, which was a very pleasant affair. [Bainbridge Republican, Dec. 28, 1872]
