Wilcox - Stead:  A very delightful wedding took place Wednesday, Jan. 30, 1907, in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] in which Bainbridge people were much interested, inasmuch as the groom, Albert C. Wilcox, is one of the well known and worthy young men of our town.  He was united in marriage with Miss Bertha C. Stead at the home of her uncle, Rial W. Stead, Rev. E.G. Van Woert, pastor of the Bainbridge M.E. church, performing the ceremony at noon, using the ring service.  The bride was tastefully dressed in blue silk, with changing, shimmering hues, and this color scheme predominated throughout the main rooms of the house, lending an artistic and decorative effect to the important event taking place that day.  The nuptial rite being solemnized, an elaborate dinner was served by Caterer Toby of Bainbridge whose skill as chef was demonstrated very materially by the participating guests.  The wedding was a very enjoyable social event there being only one exception, the father was too ill to be present, but would not consent to a postponement of the marriage.  Had it not been for the father's illness the marriage would have been consummated at the parents' home.  Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox will reside in Bainbridge and will be warmly welcomed. The bride has a wide acquaintance here already, having served the past year as organist in the Methodist church.  Besides her social qualities her musical education will give her prominence as she is a graduate of the Utica Conservatory of music.  She is the only daughter of Alozno I. Stead, a prominent and wealthy farmer of Guilford.  There were many beautiful gifts in silver, glass and linen, besides money considerations from the parents of both parties.
