Arnold, and a granddaughter of the late Frederick Sands, and is one of Unadilla's best known and highly respected young ladies. The groom is the eldest son of Hon. and Mrs. James Stewart. In referring to the wedding and to the groom, the Star of yesterday says: "Mr. and Mrs. Stewart will arrive in Oneonta today and be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart for a brief stay. The groom will proceed to Burlington, Vt., on Friday, to continue his medical studies at the University of Vermont. Mrs. Stewart will, as soon as she can, close her residence at Unadilla, go to Burlington and pass the winter with her husband there. The wedding is one that interests elite circles of the two villages, uniting as it does members of representative and honored families of Oneonta and Unadilla and is but the natural outcome of the strong attachment which has formed between the young people. Mr. Stewart is a young man favored by birth and attainments. He is making excellent progress in acquiring a knowledge of medicine, a profession for which he has many admirable qualifications. Possessed of an attractive personality and a musical voice, he has won the affections of a charming young woman. A cultured environment calculated to develop a refined woman and she is indeed a happy choice.
