Mr. and Mrs. F.P. Draper celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage on Friday evening, the 16th inst. at their residence in Westford [Otsego Co. NY], by the time-honored custom of a silver wedding.
The occasion was one of great interest, not only for the family but for their many warm friends and relatives in Westford and other places throughout the country, many of whom coming from great distances, were present.
Mrs. Draper was formerly Miss Lucy A Preston and the first essay, or the one giving an account of her family, was read by Mr. A.H. Preston. The next on "the Draper Family" was read by Mr. Arthur Chester. The Rev. Mr. Gillette than gave an address in rhyme, during which the bride and groom of twenty-five years' standing were reunited in the holy bonds of matrimony, and he received from them, after the ceremony, as marriage fee, a very beautiful silver cake basket. Mr. S.B Draper of Albany, and Mr. L.E. Preston of Westford, the oldest living representatives of the respective families, then brought to the center of the parlor a large table loaded with every description of silverware and uncovered it to the gaze of the thankful recipients. A.S. Draper, Esq. of Albany, was then called upon and mustering all the professional skill which he, as a lawyer, possessed, he conveyed the title of the costly and beautiful presents to Mr. and Mrs. Draper in a happy and elegant address of about a quarter of an hour in length. Alden Chester, Esq. of Albany, accepted the presents on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Draper, in a feeling address of about the same length and returned their warmest thanks, accompanied by the strongest assurance of their love and their kindest wishes to all. During the evening the happy couple were the recipients of hearty congratulations.
The bride was neatly dressed in white, and her hair was beautifully decked with orange blossoms in all their native purity. The three beautiful daughters of the family, Miss Ella, Miss Amanda, Miss Emma were very handsomely attired and all of them being accomplished musicians, they enlivened the company many times during the evening with the choicest of performances on the piano and organ.
Death
In Morris [Otsego Co. NY] June 10th of apoplexy, Mrs. Phineas C. Ball aged 71 yrs. [Deidama Goodrich Ball]
Died at Richfield Springs [Otsego Co. NY] June 21, 1871, Mr. William P. Johnson in the 61st year of his age. Mr. Johnson was born in the town of Otsego, Otsego County [NY], where he continued to reside until his 43d year. In 1854 he removed to Richfield Springs and took charge of the American Hotel of which he had been for several years the proprietor.
Mrs. Lucy Snook, aged 50 years, wife of Isaac Snook, residing between Oneida an Durhamville [Madison Co. NY], died on the 29th ult. from the effects of eating for greens the leaves of rhubarb or pie-plant, of which she was fond, and from the poisonous effects of which she suffered for nearly three weeks previous to her death. The stalk of the pie-plant, when peeled of its outer covering is not considered injurious when used for food; but the leaves are poisonous and should never be eaten. Madison Observer.
On Saturday, June 10th, two children of Alonzo M. Crawford, a printer employed in the Express office in this village [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] -Willie [Crawford] aged about four years and Charlie [Crawford] aged about 2-1/2 years - were found drowned in Cummings' pond, near the district schoolhouse on the opposite side of the river. The youngest was discovered floating in the water but a few yards above the dam, by his mother and was immediately taken out and home by a person passing. The other was also seen discovered below the schoolhouse, in nearly erect position, with his hands just above the water. His hat lying nearby, showed that this was the scene of the catastrophe. Every effort was made to resuscitate them, but without avail. it is supposed that they went down the bank, which is eight ort ten feet high at this point and commenced playing in the water, which is shallow for a few feet from the shore, when they came to where a log is imbedded in the stream, and there is a sheer descent of nearly two feet. That probably the younger child got over or slipped off this and the other followed with the idea of rescuing him. However this may be, they were certainly both precipitated into the water, which reaches five or six feet in depth within a short distance of the shore, where they were screened from ordinary observation by the high bank, until life was extinct and the alarmed friends, searching for them, were rendered almost frantic at receiving only the lifeless bodies of the recently sprightly and happy children who had been the object of their fond attachment and earnest solicitude.
