Marriages (November 19)

The Presbyterian Manse [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Saturday when Miss Lora Horton Stevens of Wyalusing, Pa., was united in marriage with William L. Stethers of Oneonta [Otsego Co. NY].  The marriage was solemnized on the wedding anniversary of the bride's parents and also on that of her sister, Mrs. W.A. Carrington.  The manse was very prettily decorated for the occasion with potted plants and flowers, the color scheme being green and white.  Promptly at high noon the bride and groom, unattended, took their places in the parlor where they were united by the Rev. W.A. Carrington.  The bride was attired in a gown of barred silk Mull trimmed with cluny and Maltese Lace.  Promptly following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served.  Mr. and Mrs. Stethers left on the afternoon train for a short wedding trip and after October 15th will be at home to their friends at No. 30 Watkins Avenue, Oneonta.  ...

A pretty wedding took place Tuesday evening, Dec. 1, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Young, when their daughter, Miss Mabel M. Young, was united in marriage with John M. Ryan of Mt. Upton [Chenango Co.,  NY].  The ceremony took place in a cozy nook in the parlor which was beautifully trimmed with evergreens and potted plants, Rev. H.T. Hill officiating.  A large number of relatives of the bride and groom were present and a few personal friends.... After the ceremony and congratulations a rich feast was enjoyed by all.  The young couple left on the evening train for New York city, where they will spend part of their honeymoon.  The bride received many valuable and useful presents.  Mr. Ryan is one of Mt. Upton's popular young men and holds the position of inspector under the Borden's, and Miss Young is well known in this vicinity.  They will settle at Mt. Upton where the groom has a home already furnished.  Their many friends extend congratulations and best wishes.  [Bainbridge Republican, Dec. 3, 1908]

Tuesday evening of this week the many friends of Rev. J.F. Williams and his estimable wife made them a very enjoyable surprise party and tin wedding, it being the tenth anniversary of their marriage.  The bride and groom have changed somewhat during the past ten years and so has the wearing apparel compared with the present day.  Elder Williams is very fond of white vests, and would wear one of them, notwithstanding the urgent request of his friends to "Never mind it."  The evening was passed very pleasantly and all went home feeling convinced that Elder Williams' is the place to go to have a good time.  Rev. C.A. Stone made a few remarks which were responded to by Rev. Williams.  A sumptuous repast was served which did ample justice to the ladies who prepared the same.  A number of presents were presented.  [Afton Enterprise, Dec. 15, 1881]
