Wheeler - Sackett
February 4, 1900
A quiet home wedding occurred at the M.E. Parsonage in this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when Miss Cora A. Sackett, eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C.H. Sackett, and Mr. George S. Wheeler of Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY] were united in marriage. The guests included only the immediate families of the bride and groom. The bride was becomingly attired in a handsome traveling suit. Miss Viola Sackett played the "Wedding March" and surrounded by those who were nearest and dearest to them, the happy couple took the sacred vow that united their lives until death shall break the holy bond. The ceremony was performed by the bride's father. Among the beautiful and valuable gifts there were some elegant silver and china ware, fine table linen and a check for fifty dollars from the parents of the groom. After partaking of the wedding supper, Mr. and Mrs. wheeler drove to Afton where they took the westbound train and will spend a short time visiting friends in Binghamton, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Kingston. They will begin housekeeping at Mt. Upton within a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler are well and favorably known here. Mrs. Wheeler has by her grace of manner and beauty of character won the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends. Mr. Wheeler has been a resident of this village, having been employed in C.M. Frisbie's drug store for about a year, and has many friends here. He has the character and intellect that are required for a successful business man and a good citizen.
On Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Unadilla, occurred essentially one of the most fashionable weddings ever witnessed in this place, in the marriage of Miss Mary Catharine Robinson of Unadilla, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Robinson with Mr. Walter S. Knapp, the only son of C.A. Knapp of Sioux City, Iowa. St. Matthew's church was artistically and beautifully adorned with flowers and psalms, and the edifice was filled with guests. When the organist, Mrs. A.S. Barnes, of Oneonta, ceased playing a quiet little prelude, and the strains of the wedding march swelled through the church the large audience knew the bridal party had arrived. The movement down the center aisle, of the impressive group was watched with admiration. Mr. Wm. M. Armstrong, of St. louis, and Mr. George Lewis of Binghamton, two of the ushers, advanced. The maid of honor, Mrs. Mary L. Follett, of Sioux City, with stately grace, preceded the four bridesmaids, Miss Nellie S. Myrick, of Binghamton; Miss Anna Eliza Mulford, of Unadilla; Miss Leila Marsalis, of New York city and Miss Ada Lilla Arms, of Binghamton. The other ushers, Mr. Chas. E. Crothamel, of Scranton and Mr. C. Taylor Leatherbury, of New York, were followed by the bride, leaning on her father's arm. The bride was gowned in white satin, en train, trimmed with real lace and chiffon. She carried no flowers but held a prayer book. The five pretty young ladies wore gowns, quaint and almost colonial in design, identical in every detail. The material was pink organdie, the trains being of generous length. Pink bows graced their hair and in their hands, gloved in pink, each carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, tied with white Ribbons. The entire Episcopal service was used by the rector of the church, Rev. Dr. Parke. The benediction was pronounced as the happy pair knelt on a white satin pillow, also made from the same material as the wedding gown.
At the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson a reception followed, about 75 guests being entertained from 9:30 until 12 o'clock. The parlors and dining room were fragrant with flowers, the color scheme of the wedding, pink and white, being observed. The occasion was one of rare pleasure. The guests enjoyed immensely the inspection of the great number of costly, beautiful and useful gifts. The gift of the groom to his bride was a star brooch set with diamonds, a most beautiful conceit. The bride's father presented her with a check for $500 and the groom was similarly remembered by his father. Each guest at the reception was given a tiny square of wedding cake neatly encased in a white box with the initials K-R delicately wrought in silver on the top. Mr. and Mrs. Knapp left the same evening for Sioux City. The bride was one of Unadilla's most popular young ladies. The groom is a stockholder and actively connected with the wholesale hardware establishment of The Knapp & Spencer Co., of which his father is the head, and which is one of the strongest business concerns in the West.
