Norwich Sun, May 14, 1929
James Rowe of Gilbertsville [Otsego Co., NY] and Miss Wilma Blankley of Rockwells Mills [Chenango Co., NY] were united in marriage at the Methodist parsonage of Sidney Saturday, May 4 by the Rev. T.

Mr. & Mrs. T.G. Ingersoll
Chenango Union, October 29, 1885
On Friday evening, October 23d, a number of the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. T.G. Ingersoll, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], made them a complete surprise as they suddenly "dropped in," one after another, till their home was about full from kitchen to parlor.  The occasion was that of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their married life.  Mr. Ingersoll served his country long and well as a soldier during the dark hours of rebellion, and all along these years they have lived to meet life's duties, and care for their parents, who a few years since have fallen asleep, only to be remembered by the sweetest recollections, and cherished by the most endearing ties, connected with those beautiful and living words; Home, father and mother.  they are now enjoying life as the third generation upon the old homestead, and while the parental chairs were vacant around the hearthstone, we find them now filled by a dutiful son and loving daughter, to whom they look with bright hope and for future joys.  While neighbors and friends from every side gathered to share with our esteemed couple the joy of the occasion, and to express their best wishes for the future, we were pleased to meet relatives form Unadilla and Gilbertsville, and while we were not permitted to mingle our voices with distant loved ones, we were reminded of them by beautiful and useful presents bearing their names, among which we notice a few:  Large silver pieces from friends in Chicago, and others from E.T. Musson and C. Hopkins, of Norwich, and G.E. Bailey, Brooklyn, N.Y., and L.S. Perry, Syracuse. The Guilford friends, set of china, four sets of knives, etc., also several books of poems, etc.  After a social visit, refreshments were served, music and anecdotes enjoyed, a word of thanks returned to Him who bestows all our gifts; and with many earnest wishes for the continued welfare of the happy couple, we separated, receiving an invitation to call again after the short space of twenty-five years.
 
Mr. & Mrs. Rufus Smith
Chenango Union, February 5, 1874
Guilford [Chenango Co. NY]:  Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Smith celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage on the 14th ult. at the house of Nathan DeLavan.  Although it was a stormy night, about 100 of their friends assembled, with congratulations and good gifts for this worthy couple.  Mr. Smith is a brother of the late Samuel A. Smith, and removed to Guilford from Connecticut in 1840.  Joseph L. Smith for many years a resident of Norwich, is the eldest of ten children, who are wildly scattered, but who with two exceptions, were present at this anniversary.  One of the most interesting features of the evening was a poem written by Miss L.A Balcom of Oxford.
