The following is an account of the Moritz-Yale wedding taken from the Minneapolis Tribune of Aug. 20th. The marriage of Miss Edna Moritz and Harry Carpenter Yale took place last evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.G. Moritz of Bryant avenue south. Rev. Mr. Dunham of Westminister church read the ceremony in the presence of 150 guests. The rooms were decorated with palms and ferns and in the living room where the vows were spoken there was an improvised altar of Japanese lilies and palms. The color note in the dining room was red and American beauty roses in tall vases arranged on the table and buffet. A string orchestra stationed in the reception hall and concealed by palms played the bridal music and also played during the reception which directly followed the service. The bride was charming in a white messaline gown over chiffon trimmed with Irish point lace and she wore a full veil. Her only ornament was a diamond and coral pendant, a gift of the bridegroom. She carried a shower bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley. Mr. Moritz gave his daughter in marriage. The bride was attended by her sister, Mrs. Herman Shape of Everett, Wash., who was the matron of honor and wore a lingerie gown over white silk and carried pink roses. Mrs. Moritz was gowned in a handsome white embroidered imported costume and Mrs. Yale wore a cream colored lace roe. After the reception refreshments were served in the dining room. Assisting through the rooms were Mrs. M. Runckel of Lacrosse and Mrs. Frances Howard. Mr. and Mrs. Yale left for an Eastern trip and will be at home after Sept. 15 at 2625 Fremont avenue south. The bride's going away gown was of green broadcloth and she wore a hat to match. [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 17, 1908]
Almost a Golden Wedding: The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Place were invited to celebrate the 44th anniversary of their wedding on Wednesday, October 29th. The happy couple who had walked together for nearly half a century, welcomed their guests as cordially as though the first flush of youth still mantled their cheeks. The crown of gray hairs which adorned their brows only told that they were nearing the time when they should hear the King say "Well done, good and faithful servant." The occasion was one of much interest and enjoyment to all who were present, many of whom were little children when the first wedding was celebrated. The tables were loaded with good things, and "the cup which cheers but not inebriates" circulated freely. Some tokens of friendship which the guests presented were then offered by Rev. S.W. Weiss, with appropriate and happy remarks, after which all joined in the prayer which he offered for the continued blessings of heaven to rest on the happy pair. The party broke up at an early hour well pleased with the entertainment. What changes have been wrought in the Unadilla Valley within fifty years. It is very pleasant to listen to the stories of the olden time which many among us can relate, and very precious are those links which bind us to the past. One of the oldest churches in the town is the M.E. Church at Union to which Mr. and Mrs. Place have been united more than forty years. This world has been a pleasant dwelling place to them, but they choose the path of true wisdom. They make of it a stepping stone to the beautiful world where infirmity and death shall be known nevermore--Mrs. E.J. Richmond. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 8, 1873]
Last Wednesday evening at half past seven the marriage ceremony of Mr. Charles Teson, Jr., of Troy, and Miss Florence A. Keller, of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], took place in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. W.B. Thomas officiated, and Miss Getie Wetmore presided at the organ with her customary grace and skill in the production of that monarch of nuptial music, the "Wedding March." The bride's maids were Misses Gussie Beverly and Julia Frisbie. The church was densely crowded, notwithstanding the unpropitious weather. The beautiful ceremony of the Methodist Church was read in an impressive manner. The young couple were elegantly and appropriately attired, and appeared very graceful. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the friends of the bride assembled at the house of Mrs. Keller and offered their congratulations. On the following morning they took the train for Troy, where they are to reside permanently. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 28, 1874]
