On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 29th, at four o'clock, a wedding, delightful in its sweet simplicity, occurred on Kirby street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I.I. Odgen, when their daughter, Ethel Julia, was united in marriage with Carl G. Tompkins, of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY]. The officiating clergyman was Rev. G.E. VanWoert, pastor of the M.E. church. The ceremony took place in the parlor which was effectively trimmed in white and green, the bride and groom standing in an embowered nook under dainty marriage bells. There were no attendants and the guests were limited to relatives of the connecting families. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white Persian Lawn and carried a bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Following the ceremony a wedding repast was served of choice viands, the guests imagining they were supping in fairy land, the table decorations being in delicate designs of white and green with hanging festoons of the same colors, from above. Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins left Sunday, for Binghamton where they will reside, deferring an extended tour until later in the season. The groom is a progressive and ambitious young business man of Binghamton, who will succeed in all he undertakes. The bride is a highly esteemed young lady of this village, energetic, at the same time winning in manner, possessing many warm friends who wish her every happiness in her new life. There were many gifts to the newly married couple, handsome, choice and valuable, consisting in part of silver, linen, china, pictures, furniture and money....[Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 4, 1906]
