Marriages (January 3)

A very pretty home wedding was celebrated Thursday, March 15th, 1923, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James Purvis, of Bainbridge, N.Y. when their only daughter, Marjorie, became the wife of Mr. Kermit Dicks.  The bride and groom were attended by Mr. Lee Newell and Miss Hazel Newman and were preceded by the misses Harriet and Lorene Sipple, nieces of the groom, who were dressed in white organdie and carried baskets of pink and white blossoms.  The wedding party entered the parlor at high noon to the familiar accompaniment of the wedding march, played by Miss Esther Toby, where in the presence of the immediate relatives and a few friends the marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Chas. G. Cady, pastor of the Presbyterian church to which the young people belong.  The bride has always resided in Bainbridge, attending its school and also the High School at Sidney.  She was becomingly gowned in blue silk taffeta and carried a corsage bouquet of white roses.  The groom has more recently come to Bainbridge where he is in business with his brother-in-law, Mr. John L. Sipple, was formerly of Roscoe, New York, but in the time he has been here he has won many friends.  A table covered with beautiful and valuable presents attested to the popularity of the young couple.  After the bounteous wedding dinner Mr. and Mrs. Dicks left for a short stay at Syracuse and Binghamton and on their return they will reside in an apartment which they have furnished at the home of the bride's father, Mr. James Purvis, on Pearl street, where they will soon be "at home" to their many friends whose best wishes go with them.
