Marriages (october 22)

Thomas - Hirt:  At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday occurred the marriage of two of Bainbridge's well known young people at the home of the bride's parents.  Miss Clara Thomas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Thomas, to Joseph Hirt, Rev. A. Spaulding officiating.  Miss Edith Westcott and Louis Lindgren acted as bridesmaid and best man.  It was a very quiet wedding.  Aside from those mentioned above Mr. and Mrs. Wicks of Holmesville and J. Williams were the only persons present.  After the ceremony supper was served.  The floral decorations were very pretty.  The couple were the recipients of a number of pretty and useful presents.  Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hirt left from Afton on No. 3 for Binghamton and will be away about a week visiting friends in nearby cities.  Why they went to Afton might be well to explain.  When the carriage came for them it was known that a large delegation of friends had gathered at the deport here [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] to give the couple a hearty "send-off' and so they drove to Afton to give them the slip.  The bride is one of Bainbridge's most estimable young ladies.  She graduated from the union school in the class of '96. Joseph Hirt is the cutter in C.P. Case's tailor shop and is a young man of excellent qualities.  Both are active workers in the Presbyterian church and have a host of friends who wish them a long and happy life as does the Express.  On their return Mr. and Mrs. Hirt will make their home with the bride's parents.  [about 1896]
 
Miss Mary Evelyn White, of Brooklyn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. White, became the bride of Thomas Collins, III, of the U.S. Coast Guard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Collins, Jr. of Westfield, Mass., last Friday in New York City.  Thomas, III, a native of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], is a grandson of Thomas Collins and the late Mrs. Collins of West Main street.  He moved to Massachusetts when a young boy with his family, and after graduating from Springfield College, where he was very prominent in varsity football and other sports, he entered the service.  His younger brother, Richard, is in the Merchant Marines.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Dec. 9, 1943]
