Rix - Wright
April 1912
Bernard W. Rix of Buffalo (Erie Co., NY) and Miss Elizabeth Wright of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY] were quietly united in marriage in Utica [Oneida Co., NY] Monday forenoon. Miss Wright is the niece of Frank T. Arnold, the defaulting cashier of the First National Bank of New Berlin. Mr. Rix is a prominent merchant in Buffalo and is said to be wealthy. Mrs. Rix, mother of the bridegroom, had accompanied her son to New Berlin when he went there to get the marriage license. She remained with Miss Wright until Monday and went with her to Utica. Howard Wright, brother of the bride, also went to Utica with her. Miss Wright was met in Utica by her affianced and his father. The ceremony was performed a short time afterwards. Immediately afterwards the bridal couple, Howard Wright and the parents of the groom went to Hotel Utica, where a wedding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Rix, Sr., remained at the hotel, but the young couple are said to have gone on a wedding trip. They will reside in Buffalo.
The engagement of Miss Wright and Mr. Rix was announced in New Berlin last February. Miss Wright had attended St. Margaret's School, a select institution for young women, in Buffalo, and had met Mr. Rix there. They became mutually attached to each other and their engagement met with the approval of the bride's uncle. Mr. Arnold made the occasion for the announcement of the engagement a memorable society event in New Berlin. He had only recently completed a magnificent bungalow adjoining his Stone Manor in New Berlin. A reception was held there in honor of Miss Wright and distinguished guests were present from many cities. New York florists made the bungalow a bower of beauty and the event was the impressive society feature of the year. It had been planned to have Miss Wright's marriage take place in June. The ceremony was to have been celebrated in the magnificent style that was the delight of Mr. Arnold, but the exposure of his defalcations followed by the wrecking of the bank put an end to these plans.
Miss Wright is beautiful, accomplished, popular with her friends and is held in high esteem in New Berlin by people of all classes. Mr. Arnold lavished wealth upon her and held for her an affection that amounted to idolization. when the exposures of her uncle's defalcations came, Miss Wright took full charge of the Arnold home, met all people with a brave and hopeful demeanor and did everything possible to help straighten out the tangle into which the affairs of the bank had bene plunged. Mr. Rix, too, proved himself a loyal and manly lover. There was no thought on his part of breaking off the engagement, but rather he is said to have urged an immediate ceremony for the purpose of asserting a husband's right to cherish and protect the girl who would soon have been practically homeless.
