Marriages
MITTER - DAVY: At the residence of F.E. Shelton, Hyde Park, Nov. 29th, 1874, by Rev. R.W. Van Schoic, George W. Mitter of Scranton Pa., to Miss Mary J. Davy, daughter of Rev. J. Davy of Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY].
Editor Republican: We had the pleasure of attending one of the most pleasing gatherings a short time since that it has ever been our fortune to take a part in. We allude to the wooden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. George Easton. Five years ago, Mr. Easton took from her home and many friends the much-loved daughter of Mr. L. Pollard, to tread with him the checkered path of life. They started in life with the brightest of anticipations, which have so far been realized. With but little encouragement at first, they have struggled on striving to obtain a home until now they possess one of the pleasantest homes in Coventry [Chenango Co. NY]. The presents were numerous and well fitted for the occasion. There were about seventy guests present, and all seemed to enjoy themselves, especially Mr. Howard and Mr. Derby, who were the life of the company. In the evening a beautiful table was spread with the choicest viands, all prepared by the bride's own hands. After supper the company assembled in the parlor to witness the impressive ceremony of marriage. After the ceremony was finished all proceeded to take part in those games which are the life of such occasions. About twelve o'clock the company dispersed seemingly well pleased with the reception. We can but say it was the pleasantest gathering we ever witnessed. It is our earnest wish that they may live to enjoy many anniversaries of their marriage.
Deaths
DOOLITTLE: In this town [Bainbridge, Chenango Co. NY], Dec. 8, 1874, Mr. Miles Doolittle, aged 80 years.
