Bainbridge Republican, January 23, 1879

On Wednesday evening of this week, at the home f the bride, in this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Mr. John L. Clark was united in marriage to Miss Emma M. Marshall, only daughter of Hiram Marshall.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. D.N. Grummon.  The bride was very nicely dressed, and we noticed at the reception one or two very elegant presents.  This couple, it seems, have wooed since babyhood, and Cupid who no doubt had an idea of his own, has at last consummated a union, which we trust will never be disturbed in its present harmonies--a union which the friends of both will unite in expressions of congratulation and wishes for their beatific prosperity through all their walk in life. Among the invited guests were C.M. Priest, L.B. Clark, I.M. Curtis, S.S. Ehrich, Willard Hastings, and your truly.

Hill - Backus

Norwich Sun, December 21, 1904

 

A most enjoyable event took place on Tuesday, the 20th on what is known as the Alva Bailey farm now occupied by Dwight Backus, about five miles east of Norwich on the South New Berlin road.  It was the marriage of their daughter Mary to Herbert Hill, a sturdy young farmer living near New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY].  At 12 o'clock, the contracting parties attended by Leonard Hill as best man and Miss Grace Bancroft, a former schoolmate of the bride, as bridesmaid, took their positions beneath a beautiful arch formed in a corner of the parlor, surmounted by a pure white bell--a most, exquisite design of tissue paper.  The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Watson of New Berlin.  After hearty congratulations the happy pair were seated and Porter Backus was invited to the organ.  He was assisted by Louis and LaVerne Adams, who sang.  Thirty-three persons afterward did ample justice to the delicious viands spread before them.  The presents were both useful and ornamental, showing the high esteem in which the bride and groom are held by their numerous friends. Friends who came from a distance were LaVerne Adams of Albany, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Backus of Sidney, Mrs. W.H. Cloher of Utica and Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Fairbank of New Woodstock.  Mr. and Mrs. Hill were hurried away to the train amid a shower of rice, returning with Mr. and Mrs. Backus to their home, and will visit other friends on a short wedding trip. The bride made an excellent record as a student in South New Berlin high school and would soon have graduated with honors. The groom has in him the elements of success, a brain and brawn to combat against the difficulties of life and win his way where weaker men would fail.
