Marriage
COGGESHALL - BARBER: At the residence of the bride's father, Prof. D.G. Barber in Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], April 12th, by Rev. John C. Ward, Mr. William T. Coggeshell of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] to Miss Azalia E. Barber of Oxford.
In the appropriate place in today's Telegraph, will be seen the marriage notice of one of our compositors, Mr. William T. Coggeshall, to Miss Azalia E. Barber, daughter of Prof. D.G. Barber, of Oxford. Miss Barber has been for some time one of the teachers in our public schools and is universally esteemed and respected by all who have had the pleasure of making her acquaintance. "Cogg", of course, is well and favorably known. We congratulate the young people upon their union under such favorable circumstances, and we trust the partnership will always be as agreeable as the fondest anticipations of each now hope for. We trust Mr. Coggeshall's case may never be out of sorts, and that he may never want for "small balls" and that as often as the edition is revised, though we cannot wish it to be enlarged, still we hope it may always be improved and finally when he gives up the stick may his rule be bright and his proof without blemish and he have a perfect entrance where Devils do not cry for "copy" and the weary printer is at rest.

FREEMAN: In Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY] April 9th, Emma [Freeman] wife of Andrew Y. Freeman, aged 24 years.
The wife of Andrew Freeman, school commissioner, died Monday. The lady is spoken of as a lady of high educational attainments and a beloved wife, and many friends mourn his loss, and the mourning husband has our sympathy. "A journey ended, a work well done. / A faithful soul rested; a glorious crown won."
The death of Mrs. Emma (wife of Com'r Andrew Y. Freeman) is another impressively sad event in our community. But a few short months ago she came among us a happy bride, and by her many accomplishments, sweetness of disposition and winning gentleness, immediately won the hearts of all who were so fortunate as to make her acquaintance. Nearly six weeks ago she was seized by a particularly painful illness which baffled all medical skill and on Monday last the spirit returned to the God who gave it. The fortitude with which she endured her sufferings, her calm patience and serene resignation during her last days, elicited the admiration of all who surrounded her and impressed the more fully upon them the greatness of the loss they sustain in her early death. The funeral services were attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends, from this and adjoining towns and a discourse delivered by Rev. G.R. Burnside.
