Married, at the home of the bride, on East Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], at noon, on Wednesday, Aug. 29th, 1906. Harry Horton VanCott and Mabel Gertrude Corbin, by the Rev. Arthur Spaulding assisted by the Rev. W.A. Carrington. It was a quiet home wedding--simple, beautiful--befitting the characters of the young man and woman who were united in marriage. The color scheme of the home decorations was green and white. Wedding bells in white hung from the ceilings among festoons of trailing pine. The bridal couple entered the room to the music of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, and took their station under a large marriage bell and facing a mass of green interspersed with white roses. Here they took the marriage vows according to the ritual of the Episcopal church. The bride's gown was of white silk mull with the conventional bride's veil fastened with tea roses. After the congratulations of the guests, the company sat down to a dainty wedding breakfast, the bride's table being decorated with similax and white roses. The wedding gifts were numerous, beautiful and useful. The bride is one of the most estimable of the young women of Bainbridge; a graduate of our High school and of Oneonta Normal, and since graduation, at the latter institution, a teacher in our school here. Harry H. VanCott was born in Bainbridge and has known no other home. He is a graduate of Bainbridge High school, of Oneonta Normal and of the Teacher's College, Columbia University. At all these institutions of learning he has made an exceptionally good record, and has received an appointment as teacher of Physics in the High school at Schenectady where the young people will reside after their return from the bridal trip.
