Marriages (May 20)

Mr. & Mrs. J.H. Bump
Norwich Sun, January 10, 1924
The 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Bump of Deposit was recently celebrated in the Community Hall, Guilford Center, a central gathering place for the friends and family.  Relatives and friends to the number of thirty-five from Cobleskill, Milford, Unadilla, Whitney Point, Binghamton, Greene and Walton gathered for the festivities of the day, R.K. Teller, an employer for a number of years of Mr. Bump spoke in a happy mood of the earlier days in Unadilla where the family formerly lived.  Readings by Mrs. Ella Slater, letters from absent loved ones and music, by the company made the day pass only too fast.  Mr. and Mrs. Bump were presented with a purse of $50 in gold.

Elopement
Chenango Union, July 8, 1875
Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]:  Elopements are getting to be epidemic in these parts.  The latest of these affairs, that no one can understand, occurred last week, the parties residing in the vicinity of South Oxford.  George Lawton, a church member, and farmer by occupation, and a person heretofore much respected, has left for parts unknown, with the wife of Samuel Hulbert, leaving his wife and five children behind.  The particulars of the affair we learn from a neighbor.  It seems that Mr. Hulbert and his wife worked on the farm for Lawton, and than an intimacy sprang up between him and Mrs. Hulbert. Saturday, the 26th ult., Lawton had his son carry Mrs. Hulbert to the depot at Coventry station, she giving out that she was going to visit a relative in Broome County, we believe.  On the following Monday, Lawton informed his family that he had got to go to Norwich on business of importance, and accordingly took the morning train at this station for that place, then returned on the first train south in the direction of that pursued by Mrs. Hulbert, since then nothing has been seen or heard of either party.  Investigations have revealed the fact that Lawton's best clothes were spirited away, and that Mrs. Hulbert had not been near the relative she started to visit.  Besides his wife and five children Lawton leaves behind his aged parents, the whole without means of support.  His farm is advertised to be sold at Sheriff's sale next month, a fact that may have had something to do with the elopement--Times
