Marriages (January 21)

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Storke made a party for them on Friday evening at the home of the bride's parents,  Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Minor.  Unfortunately the weather and traveling were unfavorable, and quite a number were also detained by sickness, so that the attendance was much smaller than otherwise would have been.  Over 30 were present, and the evening was very enjoyably spent in games, social chat, and doing justice to the repast furnished by the guests.  In behalf of the company Rev. J.F Whitney presented $7 to the bride, to whom the occasion was a complete and agreeable surprise.  We learn that the happy couple intend to make their home in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], where the groom has been in business for several months.  Their many friends wish them much happiness and prosperity in their new life.  The bride will be greatly missed not only by her immediate family, but by a large circle of friends by whom she is highly esteemed.  [Jan 1896]
 
Yesterday occurred the marriage of Alanson Minor of this place and Miss Kate Hyde of Afton [Chenango Co., NY].  Their many friends extend congratulations and best wishes, and trust that their journey through life may be pleasant and unclouded as was their wedding day.  The happy couple are spending a short time with relatives in different parts of the state.  [1896]
