The Binghamton Press of Oct. 16 has the following account of the marriage of John R. Kirby well known in this town.  "The wedding of Miss Sarah Harkness of this city and John Kirby of Cooperstown, which occurred in the First Congregational Church at 11 o'clock this morning, was attended by several hundred friends of the contracting parties.  Rev. J. Randolph Smith, the pastor of the church, performed the ceremony.  The chancel was banked with an effective arrangement of bright autumn leaves and ferns.  Mrs. F.H. Mathews played the wedding music, prefacing the "Lohengrin" bridal chorus, during which the bridal party entered, with a half hour recital.  Miss Harkness made a pretty bride in her princess gown of white corded silk, cut en traine and adorned with pearl garnitures.  Her tulle veil was arranged under a wreath of orange blossoms.  She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley.  Preceding the bride with her brother, Lester Harkness, who gave her away was her sister, Miss Ethel Harkness, wearing a handsome gown of white messaline and lace, and carrying a bouquet of pink chrysanthemums, and by the little flower girl, Miss Virginia Harkness, in white and pink sash.  Her basket was full of pink carnations and maiden hair ferns.  Eugene Stockler attended the groom.  After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast for the immediate relatives was served at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ellen Harkenss, of Murray Street."  The groom is a prominent business man of Cooperstown and is a brother of Ralph W. Kirby of Bainbridge.  ... [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 21, 1909]
