Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  A very pretty wedding took place last Saturday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Sweet in Greenlawn avenue, when their only daughter [Dorothy] became the wife of Carlton Babcock.  The house had been made very attractive with sweet peas, gladiola and ferns.  A large white wedding bell was suspended in the archway between the parlor and reception hall, and here at four o'clock the happy couple took their places and were united in marriage by their pastor, Rev. Clarence Carman in the presence of their own immediate families.  The bride was charming in a dress of yellow chiffon, with hat and shoes to match and carried an arm bouquet of white roses.  Her attendant, Miss Thelma Lyon was in yellow organdie with hat and shoes to match, and carried an arm bouquet of white gladiola.  Donald Loudon attended the groom.  A reception followed the ceremony, and a luncheon was served the guests.  Mr. and Mrs. Babcock left for a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home in Greenlawn avenue [Bainbridge, NY].  Mr. Babcock is a valued employee of the Research Laboratories, and popular with a host of people.  Mrs. Babcock is a most charming young lady and has conducted a beauty shop for some time. Their many friends extend congratulations and best wishes.  [Norwich Sun, July 30, 1931]
 
Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  Artistic floral decorations and soft lighting effects introduced in the appointments of the wedding of Miss Bertha Maude Davis and Leon Copley Rhodes at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Davis, North Main street, at 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 28, made the affair a most pleasing social event.  While the wedding was simple and informal the rooms were made doubly charming by a profusion of flowers and greenery, the color scheme in the parlors being green and white and in the dining room pink and white with candles to carry out the charming effect of the arrangement.   The crowning effect of the decorations was achieved in the front parlor where the ceremony took place under the outspreading leaves of an immense palm, while a tastily arranged bank of ferns and flowers were placed about and beneath.  Miss Addie Hill rendered most beautifully Lohengrin's wedding march, and continued to play softly during the impressive ceremony after which she played Mendelssohn's march, while the couple received the hearty congratulations of friends.  The ring ceremony was chosen and was performed by Rev. Frank James, pastor of the M.E. church of this village.  the bride's gown was an exquisite hand embroidered net robe with bead trimmings over white messaline, cut with round neck and half sleeves.  She carried a bouquet of white roses.  The going away suit was a simple but elegant navy blue.  Following the ceremony a dainty five-course luncheon was served to the guests numbering about fifty, relatives of the bridal couple.  At the bride's table in the dining room were seated the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Davis, Mrs. W.A. Rhodes and Rev. and Mrs. Frank James.  The gifts were many and beautiful, including cut glass, hand painted china linen, silver and $100 in money.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes are graduates of the Bainbridge High school.  Mrs. Rhodes is a talented musician, while Mr. Rhodes is a rising young lawyer of the firm of Newell & Rhodes of Binghamton.  They left in an automobile taking with them the best wishes of many admiring friends.  After a short wedding trip they will be at home at 37 Oak street, Binghamton [Broome Co., NY].  [Norwich Sun, July 3, 1911]
