New Lisbon, Otsego Co. NY:  Joseph Neff has made up his mind that life was naught without a wife and has accordingly married his housekeeper. Mrs. Grant.

Garrattsville Otsego Co. NY:  A wedding is quite a rarity in this village yet on the 23d of February one did actually occur, which has furnished food for the gossip ever since.  Joseph Neff, aged 82, who for several years has been a widower, made up his mind that a wife was a necessary evil, and accordingly married his housekeeper, Mrs. Grant of Ashtabula, Ohio.  Although she is forty years younger than the bridegroom, we have no doubt they will be happy.  The happy couple have gone to visit friends in Jefferson County.  [Oneonta Herald & Democrat, Oneonta, NY, March 7, 1878
