Death
We regret extremely to record the melancholy news that is announced in our city [Buffalo, Erie Co. NY] this morning, but the fact is no less true, than melancholy.
Henry White, Esq. District Attorney of the county of Erie [NY], and one of the aldermen of the 4th ward in this city [Buffalo], has fallen a victim to the Cholera, that disease which has shrouded the earth in mourning and which in the selection of its victims, regards neither age, distinction nor circumstances. Mr. White was in good health yesterday and all day busily engaged in performing the duties of the offices which he held and attending to his professional engagements. After the lamps were lit in his office last evening, he complained of feeling rather unwell and remarked to his partner, Mr. Ford, that he should retire to his house and accordingly did. About 9 o'clock the disease attacked him violently and became unmanageable, though he had the best of medical attendance. He died about 5 o'clock this morning. The loss of Mr. White will be felt essentially in this city and county, and the suddenness of his death makes the sad intelligence still more distressing. His amiable wife and interesting family of children will be consoled, so far as the sympathies of this community can afford consolation.
[Henry White, d. 28 August 1832, Buffalo, NY]

Marriage
At Guilford [Chenango Co. NY] on the 12th inst. by Rev. George Heaton, Ira Benedict of Coventry [Chenango Co. NY] to Miss Clarissa Wakefield of Guilford.
This couple are aged respectively, 78 and 74, and truly they have arrived at years of discretion and fully realize the importance of the step they have taken. But if they do not it cannot be called youthful folly. May the brief portion of their lives be replete with happiness and prosperity. We would here say for the comfort of the unmarried of both sexes, have good courage, while there is life there must be hope.

Peck of Cooperstown officiated. The affair was a notable one among the local social circles and the joyful couple were entertained by an elaborate dinner and reception at the Zoller House. Many people were present from Cooperstown and vicinity. The services were very largely attended. The principal ones interested started on a Western tour, after which they will settle down to housekeeping and the delights of domestic life." Albany Argus The Doctor's many friends here will join in good wishes to the newly wedded couple.
Last Sabbath evening, the M.E. Church of this village [Milford, Otsego Co. NY] was the scene of a very pleasant affair. Notwithstanding the threatening clouds, the house was crowded. After a short and very appropriate sermon by the pastor, Rev. D.C. Olmsted, Miss Mary E. Olmsted, his only daughter, and Mr. Fred E. Ives of Philadelphia were united in marriage. The church was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers. We would mention particularly the large cross just inside the altar, made up of bouquets and evergreens encircled by a beautiful wreath of flowers, also the "Marriage Bell" composed of white flowers which was suspended over the bridal party. After the ceremony, the congregation was invited to the parsonage to offer their congratulations, as the parties were expecting to leave on the following morning for Philadelphia. Everything passed off very pleasantly to all. We wish the newly wedded pair a long and happy life.
