Marriages (April 29)

West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mr. and Mrs. Harry Herrick were given a shower at the "Hall" in Union Valley last Monday evening.  A large crowd was present giving gifts to the newly weds.  Many useful gifts were received and appreciated.  Mr. and Mrs. Herrick have moved to Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY] where he is employed by Erford Lyon.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Mar. 30, 1939]
 
Ralph W. Hall, son of Presiding Elder T.F. Hall, of the Oneonta District [Otsego Co., N Y], and Miss Hazel Brown were married in Oneonta, Monday, by the father of the groom.  The bridal couple left the same day for Utica where Mr. Hall has a position upon the local staff of the Herald-Dispatch.  [Notation:  June 1, 1903]
 
Cards were received in Bainbridge Thursday, announcing the marriage, in Brooklyn, Wednesday, April 26th [1903], of Charles Jacob Taber and Lillian Phinney Parsons.  At home Thursdays, after June 15th, Bainbridge.  Mr. and Mrs. Taber are now at Cooperstown [Otsego Co., NY], where Mr. Taber holds a position with the International Cheese company. 
 
A very pretty wedding was quietly solemnized at the home of Charles Cornwell Hovey yesterday, when his daughter, Miss Lucy Elizabeth Hovey, was united in marriage to Mr. Bruce Morris Stannard of Binghamton.  At twelve o'clock, noon, the happy couple took their places in the parlor before a bank of ferns and flowers, and the Rev Arthur Spaulding, pastor, of the First Presbyterian church, wedded them with the service of the beautiful ring ceremony by which they sealed their betrothal.  The bride was gowned in light green crepe and carried white roses.  A delicious wedding collation was served in the dining room, the caterers being Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Squires of Hotel Mills, who are perfect artists in this line.  White lilies, clematis, anemones, autumn foliage and trailing evergreens were tastefully arranged as decorations in the parlors, by the young lady friends of the bride, while the color scheme of the dining room was white and green.  Miss Hovey is one of Bainbridge's most popular young ladies, being a leader in social circles and among the young people of the Presbyterian church, and has been a valued assistant to her father in the clerical work connected with his varied business interests.  Mr. Stannard is connected with the Crandell Stone Mfg., Co., of Binghamton, but was for some years a resident of this village, occupying responsible positions with the Bainbridge Creamery Co., and the Strong Leather co., and is a deservedly popular young man.  Mr. and Mrs. Stannard were expected to depart on a train tour but eluded the waiting party at the station by taking a carriage to Sidney where they embarked for a wedding tour of Lake George and other points.  They will make their home at Binghamton [Broome Co., NY]. Although only the immediate friends were in attendance, yet the wedding gifts were numerous being comprised largely of cut glass, silver and lace.  The gifts of the bride's father and brothers will be the furnishings for the new home in the parlor city.  [Notation:  Sept 21, 1904}
 
Married Monday evening, January 10 [1902], at the Methodist parsonage, by the Rev. J.S. Crompton, Miss Mary Burlison of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] and Leverette P. Hall of South Oxford.
