 Edward J. & Ella G. (Welch) Malloy
 

Thanksgiving time has come to share with the month of roses the plighting of marriage vows judging from the manner in which the wee god, Cupid, has been kept busy during the past week.  The marriage of Miss Ella G. Welch and Edward J. Malloy occurred Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Paul's Church, Rev. Father Edward R. Prendergast officiating.  The bride wore a brown traveling gown and carried a white prayer book.  She was attended by her sister, Miss Frances E Welch, who was costumed in blue. The best man was John G. Malloy, a brother of the groom. After the ceremony the happy couple automobiled to Sherburne, where they took the Lackawanna train for a wedding journey to Utica, Syracuse and other places. After December 20 they will be at home to their friends at 51 Sheldon street, a home newly purchased and prepared for them. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Catherine L. Welch, of Silver street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], and has become well known and highly appreciated as a graduate nurse during the past three years.  She is a member of the Norwich Nurses' association. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Malloy and is one of Norwich's popular young business men, being proprietor of a lunch room on Broad street. They have the best wishes of all their acquaintances for a happy future. The numerous wedding gifts consisted of cut glass, linen and other valuable pieces, among which glistened $200 in gold.

Mr. & Mrs. G. S. Graves

Bainbridge Republican, March 16, 1888

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Graves celebrated the eleventh anniversary of their marriage in a very surprising though happy manner, Thursday evening, March 8th, 1888.  In order to make it a complete surprise to the worthy couple, they were invited out to spend the evening with one of their neighbors. They had been gone but a little time when they were notified that their presence was desired at home, as company had arrived.  Accordingly they hastened away, to find their house in the possession of about seventy persons.  Of course it was trying to find their home in the hands of others, but deeming "discretion the better part of valor," they immediately surrendered and very gracefully accepted the situation.  After a good deal of hearty hand-shaking, the company were presented with some substantial tokens of esteem and friendship, which were thankfully received.  After a little, supper was announced, and a more choice and bountiful repast could hardly be prepared.  Those who were present pronounced it a most enjoyable occasion, and as the company parted to go to their respected homes it was in the spirit of gladness because of living in a Christian land with homes where marriage is one of the most blessed though solemn rites.
