Marriages (October 31)

Miss Hazel M. Peck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peck, of North Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], was united in marriage with Ralph B. Cass of Afton, at the bride's home Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock, by the Rev. H.A. Walk of Syracuse, formerly of Afton in the presence of relatives and a few friends.  The wedding march was played by Miss Ina Chamberlain of Afton.  The bride and groom were unattended. The bride was dressed in white silk trimmed with white applique and chiffon.  The decorations of the house were exceedingly pretty, ferns and apple blossoms predominating everywhere.  In the dining room the fragrant blossoms added zest to the fine wedding lunch which was served.   Mr. and Mrs. Cass left in the evening for a tour through the western part of the state.  Their residence will be in Afton [Chenango Co., NY] where the groom holds a position in the dry goods store of M.J. Mudge.  These young people have commenced the new life under happy auspices, each being esteemed highly in their respective towns.  The bride gave very efficient service in the Bainbridge telephone office the past year.  The guests at the wedding were much pleased to see the many gifts to the bride, expressive of the esteem in which she is held.  [Bainbridge Republican,   June 6, 1907]

A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the Sidney  Methodist Episcopal Church on Tuesday, July 11, at high noon, when Miss Helen Harper, daughter of Mrs. W.O. Harper, of Nineveh [Broome Co.,  NY], became the bride of Mr. Harold Dorman Westcott, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Westcott, of Norfolk, Va.  The ceremony was performed by the bride's uncle, Rev. R.S. Boyce, of Honesdale, Pa.  She was given in marriage by her uncle, James Hare, of Sidney.  The church was attractively decorated with hydrangeas and delphiniums.  Wedding music was rendered by Mrs. Leona Siver Keeley, Miss Mary Boyce, cousin of the bride, sang the beautiful song, "At Dawning."  The bride was attired in rose beige chiffon and carried a corsage bouquet of sweet-peas.  Following the ceremony a wedding luncheon and reception were held at the Hotel DeCumber.  Mr. and Mrs. Westcott left by auto for a week's stay in the White Mountains.  They will be at home after July 18 at Hartwick, N.Y. [Otsego Co., NY]  The bride has been principal of School no. 3 at Baldwin, L.I., for several years.  Mr. Westcott is a civil engineer of the state highway department.  The bride will be remembered as a former Guilford girl, who together with her parents, resided in the home now owned by Herman Foote, and made many friends while her home was here.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, July 20, 1933]

Coventry [Chenango Co., NY]:  Nelson Aylesworth and Miss Ida Willett, we learn, were recently made one through matrimony.  "Nett" has been in the habit of getting up decidedly early Monday mornings for some time past, and now this accounts for it all.  Well, we wish himself and bride a long and prosperous journey through life, and should any troubles be their lot, may they be little ones.  [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 10, 1883]
