A happy circle of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Ira Scott, in Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], August 2d, to witness the marriage of his only daughter Alice, to George Tifft, of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY].  The ceremony as performed by Rev. Mr. Brockway, of Norwich in a pleasing, beautiful manner. One  had only to look on the array of costly presents to feel assured that the youthful pair had loving friends with well-filled purses, and giving hearts.  Silver table linen, lamps and many other valuable presents, besides $40 in gold given by the father of the bride.  All hearts were happy  on the marriage day, but sill a mother's tears were blended with her smiles, as she realized her only daughter was now leaving home.  The name of home, how sacred;  where all the heart's affections have been entwined, and a mother's care and love unchanging. The newly wedded pair went on an excursion to Fish Creek, and August 4th met at the home of the bridegroom, Mr. Thomas Tifft, in Coventry, where a pleasant company of relatives, ministers and acquaintances from New York were present.  The happy couple have the hearty congratulations and best wishes of their friends:
And may their burdens e'er be light,
Their joys calm and serene,
Their only tiffs (Tifft's) be little ones,
But few, and far between.
[Chenango Union, Aug. 14, 1881]
 
On Wednesday evening of this week, at the home of the bride, in this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Mr. John L. Clark was united in marriage to Miss Emma M. Marshall, only daughter of Hiram Marshall. The ceremony was performed  by Rev. D.N. Grummon.  the bride was very nicely dressed, and we noticed at the reception one or two very elegant presents. this couple, it seems, have wooed since babyhood, and Cupid, who no doubt had an idea of his own, has at last, consummated a union, which, we trust, will never be disturbed in its present harmonies--a union which the friends of both will unite in expressions of congratulation and wishes for their beatific prosperity through all their walk in life.  Among the invited guests were C.M. Priest, L.B. Clark, I.M. Curtis, S.S. Burich, Willard Hastings, and your truly.  [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 23, 1879]
