Northrup -Alvord

Bainbridge Republican, September 19, 1878

 

On Wednesday morning, September 18, 1878 transpired an event fraught with the greatest of life's interest to the participants--the marriage of George C. Northrup of Topeka, Kansas, to Miss Addie A. Alvord, of Sidney Plains [Delaware Co.,  NY], formerly of this village. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Samuel Johnson, at the residence of Mr. A.W. Alvord.  Mr. Northrup was a former employee of this office, but now foreman of the Topeka job rooms of the Commonwealth office.  He is certainly a very fine young man and has shown considerable taste in choosing so fair a bride. The untied pair will remain about here for a fortnight when they will take their departure for their future home in Topeka.

 

May life's best joys ever bless them,

And love's blossoms round them cling,

May little one gladden and caress them,

And every happiness bring

 

The following stanza is sent us by our Sidney correspondent in relation to the above marriage:

 

All hail the wedded pair,

And midst the typy clink

And dauby ink

May fortune on them smile,

When they can say--

Our first sweet darling child.
