Titus - Naumann
Utica Saturday Globe, January 4, 1902
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson F. Titus
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: One of the prettiest home weddings of the season occurred at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Naumann, on Brown avenue, at 7 o'clock last evening, when Miss Elsa Bertha Naumann was united in marriage with Wilson Evans Titus. Rev. Daniel W. Dexter, pastor of the Congregational Church, officiated in the presence of about 40 guests. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with potted plants and palms. The maid of honor was Miss Vera F. Naumann, a sister of the bride, and Joseph Zuber, of Norwich, acted as best man. William C. Naumann, the bride's brother, was usher. Miss Naumann was beautifully gowned in white silk taffeta with chiffon and applique trimmings. The bride is a daughter of William Naumann, until recently superintendent in the Norwich silk mills, now holding a similar position, where he was formerly employed in a silk mill at Paterson, N.J. Miss Naumann has been an attendant at the Congregational Church and has been interested in the work of the Sunday school. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred S. Titus, of West Hill, the favorite suburb of Norwich. He is a valued employee of the Borden Condensed milk Company, being overseer in the filling department. The presents were many and beautiful, bespeaking the high regard and esteem in which the worthy young pair are held by many friends. Among the gifts were a handsome antique oak sideboard from the bride's friends in the silk mill and an elegant chair from the groom's friends in the condensury, also a piano from the groom's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Titus, after a brief wedding tour, will reside at no. 2 Plymouth street [Norwich, NY].
Mr. & Mrs. Ira Steward
Chenango Union, September 6, 1894
Kirk [Chenango Co., NY]: Quite a party of the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Steward gave them a surprise visit on Saturday last, it being the twenty-fourth anniversary of their marriage. The occasion was one long to be remembered, and was enjoyed by those who were in attendance. Refreshments were served and forty-two persons helped to relieve the tables of the many and various dainties. The presents were substantial and useful. Mrs. Lovina Steward, the aged mother, was in attendance. She is very active and retains her faculties to a remarkable degree, being nearly eighty-five years of age. She has in her possession some ancient and quaint pieces of earthenware, among which is a tea canister which attracted the attention of the guests. This piece of crockery is in the form of a corpulent man sitting and holding his pipe in one hand a mug of cider in the other, and was purchased in Boston and given to the mother of Mrs. Steward on her wedding day. It is known to be one hundred and twenty-five years old.
We copy from the Bainbridge Republican the following sketch of a pleasing event which occurred in that village on Tuesday evening of last week, which interests society circles both in Norwich and Bainbridge. The happy couple have the congratulations of the Union.
For some time past society circles in this village have been agitated over the approaching marriage of Miss Lucy Van Horne, one of our most esteemed young ladies, to Charles B. Chapman of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]. Cards were issued announcing that the ceremony would take place on Tuesday evening, the 12th inst., at the Baptist church, and long before the hour set for the ceremony, 7:30, the capacious building was filed to its utmost capacity. The ushers, four in number, were Charles S. Hynds and Joseph Bixby, of this village, and Edward L. Nash and Robert D. Eaton, of Norwich, who are deserving of praise for the manner in which they performed their duties. The church had been elegantly trimmed with flowers by the friends of the bride, under the supervision of Mrs. H.W. Curtis and Miss Bessie Cooper. To describe the elaborateness of the trimmings would be impossible, but we will do as best we can, leaving wide margin for imagination. An elegant wreath of white flowers was suspended from the ceiling and caught at the sides of the chancel; under this wreath, and extending from the floor of the church to the top of the altar, was a huge pyramid of flowers, forming a pleasing background; directly in front of this was an arch about ten feet in height, trimmed with varieties of white flowers with roses and trumpet flowers interspersed at regular intervals; from the center of this arch suspended a handsome marriage bell of pure white flowers; on either side of the arch were small stands upon which were large bouquets of rare exotics. This constituted the principal display, but other portions of the church were ornamented with wreaths. Promptly on time the cheering tones of a wedding march from the organ played by Miss Georgia Purington, announced the approach of the bridal couple, who, arm in arm, escorted by the ushers walked up the aisle and halted under the marriage bell. The ceremony was performed in an impressive manner by Rev. Henry Robertson, of Bennettsville, who had in years agone performed the same office for the parents of the bride, Rev. L.E. Wheeler of this place, and Rev. E.T. Jacobs of Afton, being present. At the conclusion of the service Rev. Robertson presented to the audience in his usual pleasing way, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Chapman. The newly married couple were then driven to the depot and took the 8:15 train; the many friends of the bride and groom embraced the opportunity of congratulating them, and if well-wishes will smooth the path of life, they certainly have a pleasant journey in store. The bride and groom were dressed in plain traveling dress, with no ostentatious display, which was convincing proof of their good taste. Many valuable presents were received from friends, due notice of which will be given hereafter.

Rev. & Mrs. J.F. Williams
Afton Enterprise, December 15, 1881
Tuesday evening of this week the many friends of Rev. J.F. Williams and his estimable wife made them a very enjoyable surprise party and tin wedding, it being the tenth anniversary of their marriage. The bride and groom have changed somewhat during the past ten years and so has the wearing apparel compared with the present day. Elder Williams is very fond of white vests, and would wear one of them, notwithstanding the urgent request of his friends to "never mind it." The evening was passed very pleasantly and all went home feeling convinced that Elder Williams' is the place to go to have a good time. Rev. C.A. Stone made a few remarks which were responded to by Rev. Williams. A sumptuous repast was served which did ample justice to the ladies who prepared the same. A number of presents were presented.
