Henry B. Vandeusen and Miss Hattie Gridley think to remain single would be far from agreeable and therefore the wedding on Wednesday last.  [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 12, 1876]

Our community was not a little surprised to learn that on Wednesday evening of last week, Mr. Joel Judd, of Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY], had entered our midst, and had claimed as his bride, Mrs. Amanda Minor.  The surprise, no doubt, was much greater than it would have been had they not all supposed it to be the other fellow, but, at this day and age of the world, when railroads, centennial expositions, etc., are all the go, it is hard telling what may happen.  [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 22, 1876]
