Fish - Waldorf

Bainbridge Republican, June 5, 1879

On Wednesday evening of this week, at the home of the bride in this village, Mr. Emmet J. Fish was united in marriage to Miss Lovina Waldorf only daughter of Peter Waldorf. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D.N. Grummon.  The bride was dressed in a very elegant costume, and we noticed at the reception some very costly presents were given them.  We are sorry to lose our friend Lovina but we trust they never will be disturbed in its present harmonies--a union which the friends of both will unite in expressions on congratulation and wishes for their future prosperity through all their walking life.  On Thursday they departed for their future home in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]
