Marriages
MUNDY - LATHROP: In Utica [Oneida Co. NY], June 20th, by Rev. Thomas Brown, Mr. Charles l. Mundy to Miss Emily I. Lathrop daughter of A.J. Lathrop, Esq. all of Utica.
Mr. Devillo W. Waters and wife, of North Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], had their tin wedding on Tuesday evening of this week. They were married on the 18th of June 1862, and after ten years of happy wedded life the event is recalled by the assembling of a large number of the friends and relatives of the bride and groom of ten years. It was a large party, and about 150 tin gifts presented, some quite valuable, among them a fine chamber set. The refreshment table was splendidly and bountifully spread, good music furnished for the dancers, and all went as merry as the first marriage bell. May the silver and the gold follow as happily.

LEWIS: Drowned in Preston [Chenango Co. NY], June 24th, Wilson E. [Lewis], son of Emery S. Lewis, aged 16 years.
Wilson E. Lewis, son of Emery S. Lewis, residing about one mile west of Preston Corners, came to his death by drowning in Steere's Pond, in that town, on Monday afternoon last. It appears that he was upon the pond alone, in an old log canoe, or "dug-out", engaged in fishing, when by some means the canoe was upset, and the young man, although an excellent swimmer, sank. the accident was seen by a companion on shore, who could render no assistance, as he could not swim, but he called to another, on the opposite side, who hurried to the scene, and who succeeded in recovering the body, but too late, life was extinct. The deceased was sixteen years of age and was universally esteemed for his manly qualities and amiable disposition. The announcement of his untimely death casts a gloom over the community where he was known and loved. It is a singular fact that this is the fourth death which has occurred in that immediate neighborhood, within as many years, either from suicide or accident.
GRANT: In this town [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], June 22d, Eddie [Grant] son of Stiles H. and Adelaide Grant, aged 2 years.
A singular and distressing accident, resulting in the death of a promising little two-year-old son of Stiles B. Grant, of this town, occurred last week. On Thursday evening he was attacked with violent coughing, and at times would place his hands upon his throat and articulate the work "stone." Later in the evening he became quiet, and rested well during the night, but on Friday morning the spasms were renewed, when the family were alarmed, and Dr. Purdy was summoned. All efforts to relieve the little sufferer proved unavailing, and on Saturday evening he breathed his last. An examination was made on Sunday, when a stone about the size and shape of a five-cent coin was found in the right bronchial tube. It is supposed that while playing outdoors with other children, on Thursday evening, he has placed the stone in his mouth, and by accident drawn it into the windpipe, when by the succession of spasms, it became lodged as above stated, near the right lung.

Death
William H. Baker, the veteran editor of the Democratic Union, died at his residence in Oneida, Madison County [NY], on the evening fo the 15th. He was a practical printer and worked in Utica as journeyman. About 1857 he started a paper in Hamilton, which he continued to publish there until he moved it to Oneida. In the latter place he met with pecuniary success and was worth a handsome property when he died. He had been for some time failing with consumption, and his death was therefore not unexpected. Mr. Baker was a man of good habits, and fair talents, and was respected by all who knew him. His family will receive the sympathies of a large circle of warm friends.

Mr. A. Arnold, a young man about twenty-one years old, son of J.J. Arnold of South Cortland, a brakeman on our railroad, lost his life last week at Killawog. It appears that he went between the cars to see to a bumper, and that while he was there the engineer backed up the train not knowing where Arnold was. When the train moved forward, he fell upon the track in such a way that his head was severed from his body. Cortland County Republican

The "Horning"
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, June 26, 1872
A gentleman residing in Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], having "wooded and won" one of the fair young ladies of the adjoining town of Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY], the matrimonial knot was duly and lawfully tied week before last. Incited thereto by an unworthy jealousy, or some other wicked impulse, some of the Smyrna boys visited the house where the newly married pair were tarrying and behaved in a riotous and disorderly manner. In addition, to the ancient and barbarous "horning." they entered the house and disturbed the domestic arrangements in a way not at all pleasant to the inmates or creditable to themselves. Wherefore the entire party have been prosecuted and in due time will visit Norwich to defend themselves, unless they settle, which we advise them to do.
Oxford Times, Oxford, NY, June 26, 1872
Something of an affair came off at Smyrna last week. A gentleman by the name of Cyrus Loomis was united in the bands of wedlock, and a number of Smyrna's sons, out of "pure cussedness," turned out, gave the bride and groom what is called in country parlance "a horning." They invaded the domicile of the wedded pair, tipped over the stove, and cut other cute antics which gentleman should not do. On Monday, Sheriff Rorapaugh, in company with Deputy Hopson, of this village, proceeded to the scene of the affair and arrested five of the offenders who gave bail before Justice Shepardson. Eight more are said to be "on the papers" and will have to settle of the Squire's office. Sherburne News.
