Well-Known Young People Recently United in Marriage

Rev. and Mrs. Willie W. Blossom, who will reside at Samaria, West Virginia

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The home of Mr. and Mrs. David Wicks, corner of [-?-] and Rexford streets, was the scene of a pretty wedding Wednesday when their daughter, Miss Bessie Wicks, was united in marriage to Rev. Willie W. Blossom.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. M.H. Kendrick in the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends.  Cora Hemingway was maid of honor and Robert N. Wicks acted as best man.  Following the ceremony a beautiful wedding supper was served.  The bride is an active member of the Free Methodist Church of this town and is popular among a large group of friends.  The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Blossom, of Tunkhannock, Pa.  He was formerly a resident of this village and is a promising young clergyman of the Free Methodist Church in charge of a church in Samaria, W. Va., and after a trip to Philadelphia, Washington, and places of interest the young couple will take up their residence in that community.  The congratulations and best wishes of their many friends and acquaintances will follow them to their new home.

 

Mr. & Mrs. Philetus Yale

Bainbridge Republican, September 26, 1878

 

On Monday evening the 23d inst. Mr. and Mrs. Philetus Yale, having been earnestly solicited by kind neighbors to take a ride to an adjacent village, although thinking it a strange freak decided to go with them, and while gone their home was taken possession of by numerous relatives, friends and neighbors, who on their return met them with congratulations and kind wishes for many happy returns of this their 20th anniversary of their wedding.  All having assembled, the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. S.M. Warren, requesting silence, the Rev. Mr. Guy, a brother of the bride, offered a fervent opening prayer, after which the Rev. Luman Yale, the officiating clergyman of twenty years ago, made some earnest interesting remarks, to which, by request of the bridegroom, Rev. Mr. Haynes responded, after which Revs Grummon and Guy also made a few remarks.  China being in order, a beautiful gold banded tea set, with other article of the same ware, was found upon the table.  Flowers, music, supper and a general social time filled up the very pleasant evening.  No doubt the young and old bachelors present were ardently wishing for their first anniversary, but alas!  for the twentieth of some of them.  Too late!  too late!
