Marriages (April 30)

Bunnell - Haynes

Chenango Union, January 9, 1890

A pleasant social event occurred at the spacious residence of Miss Caroline Haynes, in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], New Year's evening, when she was united in marriage to Mr. Bradley Bunnell, a late resident of Penn Yan, N.Y. The ceremony was performed in the presence of about thirty guests, all near relatives of the contracting parties, by the Rev. Lynch, Rector of Christ Church. The parlors were beautifully dressed in Xmas greens and ferns, the initial letters appearing in white flowers tied with white ribbon. The bride wore a rich costume of brown silk and plush, with diamond ornaments and natural flowers. The supper did credit to Mr. Ferris' established reputation as caterer. The viands were ordered from Norwich, and were most agreeably served.  The gifts were numerous and beautiful, comprising lovely laces, choice books, silver, china, fancy articles, and charming pictures.  It was a reunion of the Bunnell family, which had not occurred in twenty-six years.

Cornell - Bowen

Chenango Union, April 19, 1888

For some time past, Edgar Cornell, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], has had quite flattering offers to engage in business, if he would only go West, as the friend believed that much more could be gained by a young man there than here.  He finally concluded to accept the offer and go.  And then a question arose as to whether he should go this spring and return in the fall, for he had made an offer of his heart and hand to a young lady, by whom it had been accepted with the understanding that in the fall they should join hands to share together the allotments of life.  The matter was talked over,and it was concluded that it was not best for man to go alone, and so arrangements were made for a quiet wedding at the residence of the bride's father, Henry Bowen, in Guilford, Wednesday, April 4th. The immediate relatives and friends gathered, when after an hour of visiting with the bride and groom, Edgar L. Cornell and Millie A. Bowen stood before the company, and Rev. .C. Hayes asked for the promise and presented the wedding ring, when they were pronounced husband and wife together. The tables in the spacious dining room laden with only such delicacies as occasions like it afford, were surrounded, and the viands, with a bountiful supply of warm maple sugar, were partaken of with joy and hope. We then repaired to another room, where other tables were well covered with mementoes of friendship, which told something of the appreciation with which the bride and groom were held--silver ware, gold and greenbacks, tablecloths, napkins, bed spreads, pictures, etc.  A visit of a few days among friends, and Tuesday, April 10th, they took the 10 P.M. train via Binghamton for Great Falls, Montana, where they expect to make their home. The prayers and best wishes of many friends followed them for their happiness and prosperity.
