Marriages (February 14)

The event last week most conspicuous in social circles, was the marriage of Miss Nellie Cox, daughter of Jared Cox, to Mr. Merrit Burlison, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY].  Miss Cox is a young lady who stands in high esteem and who has the best wishes of many friends for prosperity and happiness in her new relations, and whose departure from here will be regretted as much as her presence will be welcomed at her new home in Guilford. The ceremony occurred at 2 p.m. on Wednesday last and was performed in an impressive manner, by Rev. E.H. Dupuny of the Methodist church, of this place.  At the hour appointed the bridal party led by Mr. Nellie Sliter, as flower girl, bearing a basket of roses, took their places beneath an evergreen horseshoe and were quickly launched upon the matrimonial sea, a pond that so many have discovered is full of rocks, quicksands, derelicts and leeshores.  Many valuable presents were given the young couple, and they start life with bright prospects, which bid fair to be realized. [1894]

A quiet home wedding occurs this evening on Front street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] at the home of U.H. Foote, whose daughter, Miss Belle will be married to George Burlison.  The ceremony which takes place at 7:30 will be performed by Rev. T.F. Hall of Binghamton.  The bridal couple will leave for a short wedding trip.

On Friday evening, Oct. 8th, occurred the 30th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. W.H.
