Lyon - Lyon

Bainbridge Republican, September 10, 1880

 

The attendance at the marriage ceremony of Frank D. Lyon, of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY, and Miss Flora Lyon, of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], last week, in the Episcopal church, was large and complimentary.  Private invitations had been previously issued, and from the number present it was evident few had failed to avail themselves of the pleasure of honoring the event.  A few minutes previous to the entrance of the bridal party Miss Juliand took her seat at the organ, and continued playing until the close of the service.  The floral decorations were very beautiful, the most noticeable being the arch of phlox and gladiolus directly above the center of the altar reserved for the bride and bridegroom.  promptly at the time appointed and headed by two ushers, the bridesmaids, attired in rich and appropriate suits, and attended by groomsmen, walked up the center aisle toward the altar, followed by the bride in a superb dress of light silk, trimmed heavily with satin and point lace, and covered with a bridal veil, on the arm of her intended husband.  The impressive and chaste service of the Episcopal church was finely rendered by the rector, Rev. J.L Egbert, and the happy pair united for life.  Immediately at the conclusion of the ceremony the party proceeded in carriages to the residence of Jefferson Lyon, the bride's father, where a reception, with sumptuous refreshments was given.  Besides the relatives of the family, several friends from Binghamton and other places were in attendance to extend hearty congratulations.  After spending about an hour with their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Lyon made preparations for their wedding journey, leaving on the 4 o'clock train for Albany on their way to Brooklyn, their future residence.  Many elegant and costly gifts were presented.  The most prominent being:  a solid gold necklace and pendant, set with pearls, Frank D. Lyon, Binghamton; lady's purse, containing five twenty dollar gold pieces, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Lyon, Binghamton; silver cake basket, finely ornamented, Mr. and Mrs. N.R.Stedman, Warsaw; silver syrup cup and tray, Miss Ella and F.B. Stedman; silver bread plate, J.
