Searles - Toby: On Thursday afternoon, Nov. 8th, occurred one of the happiest events of the season, at the residence of Abner Searles, in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], it being the marriage of their daughter, Minnie, to Christopher Toby, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. At three o'clock the bridal party entered the west parlor, and standing under the arch of evergreens from which hung the lucky horse shoe, they were met by Rev. D.N. Grummon of Bainbridge, who performed the ceremony in a very impressive manner, Prof. C.S. Foote ably presided at the organ. After the happy couple had received many hearty congratulations, the party prepared to the dining room, where a bountiful repast was spread, from which, after nearly one hundred had partaken, many packages were taken up and sent to the absent ones. The high estimation this couple hold in the hearts of their many friends was made manifest by the useful and valuable presents. The total valuation of the presents was about $150. Guests were present from Afton, Guilford, Oxford, Greene, Unadilla, Binghamton and Cortland. The newly married couple received a warm reception at Mrs. Toby's, the mother of the groom, and took the 6 o'clock train on Saturday morning to visit friends in Oneida, Utica and Rome.
Searles - Kirkland: At the home of the bride's parents at Bainbridge, Miss Jennie Lind Searles and John W. Kirkland were united in holy wedlock on Wednesday Feb. 3, 1897 at 7 o'clock. Rev. W. R. Tamblyn of Windsor officiating. Miss Grace Kirkland acted as bride's maid and Frank Ireland as best man. Miss Lilla Hollenbeck of Bainbridge rendered music for the occasion. The near relatives of the bride and groom were the invited guests. The home was made very pleasant by tastefully arranged evergreen decorations. The company also expressed their wishes by giving many useful and beautiful presents.
At high noon, Wednesday, July 31st, Miss Hattie Briggs of Mt. Vision [Otsego Co., NY] and Rev. E. Kilpatrick of Otego [Otsego Co., NY] were married. They left for Ocean Grove by way of Albany, and after a few weeks' stay will return by way of Carbondale. [July 21, 1897]
On Thursday Jan 31 occurred a pleasing even tat the home of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Toby, it being the eleventh anniversary of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Foster Watkins, of Guilford arrived the evening before, so that the groom, who was to be surprised the following day, might be at home. The day was perfect. The bright sun glinting, sleigh bells jingling, noses tingling. At 11 a.m. horses came prancing to the door bringing Yalevilleites. But, where is John! "Down town with Foster," says his wife who was in the secret. Soon back he came, and lo! the yard is half filled with cutters and the veranda full of people calling "Hello John! We thought we would make you a visit." In due time the tables were steaming with oyster soup and laden with many good things, to which after songs and chatting, about forty-five visitors did ample justice. Soon good byes were said and all departed wishing the bride and groom and all present might enjoy many such bright happy days. [1895]
