Oxford Times, January 30, 1901

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jerome Morse celebrated their golden wedding on Wednesday, Jan. 23d, at the home of their son-in-law, F.M. Parker, at South Oxford [Chenango Co., NY].  It was also Mrs. Morse's birthday, her age being 71 years, and that of her husband, 74 years.  about twenty relatives were present, four generations being represented, and a remarkable thing in connection with the affair is the fact that not a death has occurred in the family thus far....Many costly presents were presented to the worthy couple.  Mr. and Mrs. Morse removed here form Sidney recently, and are at present living with their son-in-law, Mr. Parker, our station agent. They are hale and hearty and promise to be able to celebrate many coming anniversaries and share in life's pleasures, in fact Mr. Morse indulged in coasting with one of his grandchildren a short time since.

 

Stead - Hovey

Oxford Times, January 30, 1901

One of the most pleasant social gatherings it has been our privilege to attend of late, was the marriage of Miss Ethel M. Hovey, youngest daughter of Mrs. Marilla A. Hovey, of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], and Alvin E. Stead of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], at the residence of the bride's mother, Thursday evening, Jan. 24, 1901, in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives of the bride and groom.  Soon after seven o'clock the guests began to arrive and at the hour appointed for tying the nuptial knot the parlors were well filled.  Promptly at eight o'clock the bride and groom entered the parlor to the soft, sweet strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, played by Miss Bertha C. Stead, sister of the groom.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. Charles E. Olmstead, pastor of the M.E. church of Guilford, under a bower of evergreens, in the center of which was suspended a horse shoe, tied with white ribbons. Green and white were the wedding colors. The bride was tastefully attired in a gown of green satin with trimmings of white silk and white chiffon and carried a bouquet of white hyacintha tied with white satin ribbon.  She wore a gold chain with an opal setting, the wedding gift from the groom. The groom wore the conventional black. Following the ceremony the bride and groom received usual congratulations and well wishes of the friends assembled, after which an elegant collation was served under the direction of Mrs. Kahl of Oxford.  During the congratulations the strains of Mendelssohn's grand wedding march was heard from the organ. They were driven to Norwich the same evening amid showers of rice, where they took the train the next morning for Utica and Syracuse.  Many elegant and valuable presents show the high esteem in which the recipients are held.  After a brief trip they will return to Guilford where they are to reside. The bride is a most estimable young lady and she will be sadly missed in Oxford, and the groom is one of our enterprising young farmers.  The young couple have the best wishes of their many friends for their future happiness.
