Marriages (March 19)

 
Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY]:  An elopement occurred in this place yesterday.  A young lady living just across the river formed an attachment for a young man employed as a farm hand by her father, a year or two ago, and in direct opposition to her parents' wishes, has since continued to receive his attention.  Yesterday she left home upon the pretence of attending church, met her admirer, and went with him to New Berlin, where they were married.  The force of that old maxim, "Marry in haste and repent at leisure," will probably suggest itself to her soon enough, as it has to many before her.  It is strange that love and common sense can't occupy a girl's head at the same time.  [Chenango Union, Mar. 22, 1877]

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Langone of Waterville [Oneida Co. NY], announce the engagement of their daughter, Nancy Catherine, to Winfred Gene Michel, of Waterville, son of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Michel, of Bainbridge.  Miss Langone is a graduate of Waterville Central High School and attended Oneonta State Teachers College.  Mr. Michel served with the U.S. Coast Guard for three years, two and one-half years of this time was spent in the Pacific Theatre.  The wedding will take place June 21 at St. Bernard's Church in Waterville.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 9, 1947]

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Barney, of Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary at their home in that village Dec. 28.  Mr. and Mrs. Barney are leaving soon for Elizabeth, N.J., to spend the remaining part of the winter with their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. R. Greenwood.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 9, 1947]

Mr. and Mrs. Glenn T. Carter, of Marathon [Cortland Co., NY], have announced the engagement of their daughter, Betty Carter, to Lewis A. Delavan, of Pine Bush [Orange Co., NY].  Miss Carter has been Chenango county home demonstration agent since April, 1945.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 9, 1947]

Miss Virginia Watson, of Gorden, Ala., will wed Charles R. Mott, S 2/C, of Pensacola, Fla., son of Mrs. Katherine Mott, of Bainbridge, Feb. 5.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Ja. 16, 1947]
