Toby - Humphrey
Chenango Union, February 7, 1884
One of the happiest events of the season occurred at the residence of H.R. Humphrey, January 31st, 1884, it being the marriage of their eldest daughter, Bessie A., to John C. Toby, of Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.]  A select company of relatives and friends gathered in the parlor; at the appointed time the bridal pair entered, and were met by the Rev. D.N. Grummon, who in his usual pleasant and impressive manner rendered the solemn marriage service. After that came the hearty congratulations, each wishing the estimable groom and his fair bride a pleasant voyage through the journey of life.  Then followed a repast which was a credit to the hostess, each and all showing their appreciation of it by the ample justice which they did to the good things with which the tables were loaded.  We noticed many valuable and useful presents. The bridal party left town the following morning, for a short visit among friends in Delaware County, followed by the best wishes of a large circle of friends.--Bainbridge, Feb. 1, 1884.
