DOING - BLACKMAN:  At the home of the bride's father, Clark Blackman, in South Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 25th, by Rev. J.B. Santee, Mr. Charles D. Doing to Miss Evangeline Blackman, 

A very interesting wedding party convened at the house of Clark Blackman, Esq. in South Plymouth, November 25th, 1879.  The chief interest centered in the marriage of his youngest daughter, Miss Evangeline, to Mr. Charles D. Doing, of the same place.  Rev. J.B. Santee, pastor of the Preston M.E. church officiated.

Plymouth and the adjoining towns were well represented and some even from an adjoining County were present.  All seemed to enjoy the occasion and especially the sumptuous entertainment provided by our liberal host and hostess.  Nature, Art and means in liberal measure were put in requisition to furnish the festive board.  Feasting and hilarity were the order of the day.

The guests manifested their regards for the bridal pair, by many costly and valuable gifts of silverware and other valuable articles, amounting to about $70.  A large bridal bell, wrought of evergreens and decked with flowers was suspended over the heads of the bride and groom, while the ceremony was being performed. A livery was in waiting to convey the happy pair to the cars, whence they departed southward on a tour of observation.

May all their "Doings," small or great, / Prove blessings to their married state.
