Kelsey - Stratton

Norwich Sun, April 30, 1918

A hint of romance hovered around the departing contingent Tuesday afternoon for among the men was numbered a bridegroom of a few hours. The blissful one was Grover Delancey Kelsey formerly a law clerk in the office of J.J. Bixby, but more lately a clerk in the war department at Washington, D.C.  At 8 o'clock Monday evening, April 29, 1918, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Cora Stratton, at Oxford and in the presence of the immediate and in the presence of the immediate family Rev. Inman L. Willcox united in the banns of holy matrimony Grover Delancey Kelsey and Miss Clara Anra Stratton. The bride is a graduate of the Oxford Academy and received her training as a nurse in the Cortland city hospital, receiving her credentials in 1916.  Thence she came to the Norwich hospital and it was during her year's residence here that the love bird's flutterings were first noted by interested friends.  Not until after Mr. Kelsey had gone to Washington were the vows plighted, the groom says, and when he was summoned for service and came here on Friday last, it was planned to have the marriage solemnized immediately and arrangements were completed for the ceremony Monday evening.
