Taylor - White
Chenango Union, May 1, 1884
Mr. W.A. Taylor, one of the proprietors of the Continental Hotel, Leavenworth, Kansas, and Miss Alice R. White, daughter of Alexander White, of this city [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], were quietly married yesterday afternoon at Grace Church by the Rev. F.C. Coolbaugh.  Only a few friends of the contracting parties, including Mr Edward W. Crancer, of Leavenworth, witnessed the ceremony.  They are now stopping at the Morton House and leave tonight for Leavenworth via Chicago --Grand Rapids paper, 15th.
 
the contracting parties are well known in this town and vicinity, Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY] being the former home of the bride, where she has for years prominently figured in society circles and numbers her friends by scores, both here and elsewhere, she being of that disposition to make every one her friend who became acquainted with her.  Mr. Taylor is a son of Mrs. G.H. Manning, of Norwich.  During his visits here for the past two summers he made many warm friends.  He is possessed of many qualities of mind which render him an agreeable companion, as well as many business qualifications which will win success in the walks of life. Their many friends join with the News in extending many congratulations, and hope their future life will be a long and pleasant one. --Sherburne News
 
Mr. & Mrs. John Smith
Chenango Union, May 1, 1884
McDonough [Chenango Co., NY]:  On Wednesday last, the fifteenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith occurred on which occasion their friends arranged for an observance of the event.  The day was a pleasant ideal spring one, which always adds zest and stimulates the enjoyment of such gatherings.  Upwards of one hundred were present during the day and evening, and heartily enjoyed the affair, in social intercourse, music and games.  A marked feature of the program was the gift of a fine organ to the bride and groom, as a testimonial of esteem and respect in which they are held by the donors. The presentation was made by R.A.Dunning, in a few well chosen remarks.  Dr E.L. Ensign, in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, gave the response, thanking them for this token, which was a surprise to the host and hostess.  Lewis' Orchestra were present, and discoursed some fine music; also a choir--Miss Clara Ensign and R.A. Dunning--gave some fine singing.  The tables were abundantly supplied, and were in keeping and in good taste with the rest of the program. At a late hour, in conclusion of the day of constant amusement and music, the company dispersed, feeling that all were made better by the benefits derived from this gathering.

Bainbridge Republican, November 19, 1880
Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY]:  Wedding bells are in the air at this place.  Last week Frank Prentice took to himself another half, while Yale Richmond, not to be outdone, stepped form single blessedness to a state of holy matrimony.  And still another lonesome one in the person of Hattie Ann Hoight, daughter of Thomas Hoight, Esq., entered life's joys with a gentleman from Pennsylvania, and we understand that cards of invitation are out for the wedding of Calvin Chamberlin to Miss Era Hoag, of Norwich;  also Howard Green of White Store, to Miss Emma Hollis, of this place.
