A very happy affair occurred Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 25th, at the house of Mr. William Smith, where a few relatives and friends had been invited to witness the marriage of Miss Dora L. Smith of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY] to Mr. Nelson Niles of Richfield Springs [Otsego Co. NY]. It was two o'clock when the ceremony was performed by Rev. Bishop A. Russell, of Oxford, grandfather of the bride. The ceremony was performed in a quiet and unostentatious manner, after which the usual congratulations and expressions of good wishes were given, and general good feelings prevailed. That their wedded life may be one of blissful felicity is the earnest wish of their numerous friends and relatives. The happy pair took their departure for an extended wedding trip, during which they will visit Syracuse and relatives in and around Cooperstown. That their future may be without a cloud is the heartfelt wish of their grandmother. Mrs. B.A. Russell.
