At 9 a.m. Tuesday, December 10, at the home of the bride's mother on North Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Miss M. Dell Fletcher and C.C. Hovey were married by the Rev. H.W. Chollar in the presence of a few relatives. After a wedding breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Hovey left for New York for a brief visit. [1895]
A very pretty little Easter Monday wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Copley of Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY] when their daughter, Mabel Clare, became the bride of Leon Charles Loomis of Brooklyn, N.Y., formerly of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], son of Mrs. Cora Loomis of Bainbridge. The ceremony was read at noon by the Rev. J. Graydon Brown, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Unadilla in the presence of relatives of bride and groom and three or four intimate friends of the bride who assisted in carrying out the arrangements for the wedding. An interesting fact in connection with the marriage is that it made the second union of two families already joined by the marriage of the bride's oldest sister to Ward C. Loomis, an older brother of the bridegroom. The bridal procession entered the living room to the strains of the wedding march Lohengrin, played by Mrs. Louis Stoneman, who had just sung "O Promise Me" and "I love You Truly" in excellent voice accompanied by Mrs. Leon VanCott. Little Miss Arline Loomis, niece of both bride and groom, as flower girl entered first carrying a dainty basket of pink sweet peas and wearing a pretty little frock of pink and white silk. The bride who is a very pretty young woman, was lovely in her gown of ivory satin as she entered the living room with the bridegroom, followed by her sister, Miss Gladys Copley, bridesmaid, and Mr. Eugene Halwig of Hackensack, N.J., best man. An attractive background for the group was a screen of green vines, ferns, running pine and apple blossoms. The bride's gown was simply made with low waistline and drapery of alinsons lace in apron effect over the satin. Her bouquet was a shower of bridal roses. She wore a veil of tulle arranged in coronation effect and caught with Florida orchid blossom and a string of pearls. The bridesmaid wore a gown of peach color georgette over changeable taffeta, trimmed with roses of the material and rhinestones. The side over draperies fell in cascades, three on each side forming a picot edge below the hem of the skirt that was most attractive. Her bouquet was of pink and yellow roses. The decorations were chiefly pink and yellow and white, carried out in the living room with snapdragons, apple blossoms and hyacinths. In the cheerful dining room where the wedding dinner was served, four tables were set and decorated with an edging centered with sweet peas in the pretty loving cups that were the bride's gift to her friends who assisted. Roses and smilax decorated the buffet and chandelier, respectively. The bride's cake centered her table. Those who assisted in serving were Mrs.. Stoneman, Mrs. VanCott, Miss Helen Cutler and Miss Ruth Eels. The bride's gift to the bridesmaid was beautiful aquamarine stone. ... Mrs. Loomis is a graduate of Cornell University, she also took a short course at Columbia University. Mr. Loomis is a graduate of Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute, now a contractor in Brooklyn, N.Y. where they will make their future home on returning from their honeymoon in Atlantic City.

Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: The following notice copied from a New York paper will be of interest to Guilford friends. The bride is a former Guilford girl, who will be remembered as Miss Grace Sherwood and is a sister of Mrs. A.H. Evans of this place. Guilford friends unite in wishing them much happiness and prosperity. "Announcement of the marriage in New York this morning (May 10th) of former Judge Francis Knowles to Grace Sherwood Norris appears elsewhere in this issue. Until recently both bride and groom resided in East Orange, N.J, but from June 1st their permanent home will be Asbury Park, where for the present they will occupy one of the Bellevus. Mrs. Knowles is the widow of the late Frederick W. Norris, of New York, and this is Judge Knowles' second marriage also, the first having taken place in Philadelphia in 1891, in which year he became a member of the New Jersey bar. He has been in active law practice in this state and in New York until about four years ago. Since then he has given most of his time to the affairs of the Benjamin Franklin Institute, Inc., of New York, of which he is vice president. This is the organization whose system of training for bank men and women is operating in several hundred banks in the country, and which in this city recently has been adopted by the Asbury Park and Ocean Grove bank and by the Seacoast Trust company."
