Eugene J. and Ethel E. (Aldrich) Bates

Norwich [Chenango Co., nY]:  A pretty home wedding occurred Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Walker in Front street when Mrs. Walker's daughter, Miss Ethel E. Aldrich, was united in marriage with Eugene J. Bates, of this village. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S.J. Ford, a former pastor of Calvary Baptist Church.  Miss Ella Walker was maid of honor and Fran Craig acted as best man.  On account of the serious illness of the bride's grandmother, only immediate relatives were present at the ceremony.  Mr. and Mrs. Bates are both well known young people and members of Calvary Baptist Church.  The bride is a member of Philathea Society, of that church, and a singer in the choir.  Monday evening the Philatea gave the bride a variety shower, at which 17 of the members were present and enjoyed a pleasant time.  Mr. and Mrs. Bates have gone to Elmira for a wedding tour and will visit the groom's sister, Mrs. Charles Wheeler, while there.  They will be at home to their many friends after August 1, at 32 Birdsall street.
