Stork - Minor

Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, January 1, 1896

Wednesday evening, December 25, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Minor of Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY], was the scene of a very happy event, the occasion being the marriage of his daughter, Flora B. to Burton J. Stork, of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY].  The parlor was tastefully decorated with evergreens and precisely at eight o'clock to the strains of the wedding march, the bridal pair, preceeded by Lita and Nelson Brown, Zoa and Frank Minor, entered the parlor through a gateway of evergreens, which as they approached, was untied by the little May, youngest sister of the bride.  They then advanced to an arch where they were met by their pastor, Rev. J.F. Whitney, who in a very impressive manner spoke the words which united them in holy wedlock.  After a bountiful repast the happy couple left amid showers of rice and best wishes, for a short tour in this and adjoining counties.  The bride is a highly respected member in our society, and her absence will be much felt among her many friends, as well as in her home.  The groom was formerly one of our most respected young men.  Those present from out of town were, Miss Minnie Brown and children, of Walton, and Miss Catherine Hathaway, of Cannonsville.

 

Sickles - McLean

Afton Enterprise, April 23, 1914

Married at the M.E. parsonage in Harpursville [Broome Co., NY], April 13th, by the Rev. R.E. Austin, Lyman Sickles and Mrs. Sarah E. McLean, both of Church Hollow.  The bride, whose age is 65, is the widow of the late William P. McLean, and the groom, who is 29 years old, has been the hired man at the McLean homestead for the past few years.  McLean, it will be remembered, committed suicide on Sunday, July 6, of last year by taking Paris Green under peculiar circumstances, an account (not a full one) was published in the Budget.  At the time of the tragedy it was reported by the neighbors that McLean  had been despondent for some time because he was losing the affections of his wife which he believed were being bestowed on the hired man.  There was considerable talk in the neighborhood over the matter and if the people of Church Hollow had not been good, law abiding citizens we predict that the Budget would have had more news to print than it did at the time. That the affection of Mrs. McLean for the hired man Sickles has culminated in the marriage of the two which occurred Monday would lead one to believe that Mr. McLean had cause to be jealous of his wife at the time he committed suicide--Harpursville Budget.
