Marriages (August 5)

Belle (Webb) Mattice Tiffney Miller

Bainbridge Republican, July 9, 1880

In the town of Windsor [Broome Co., NY] is a small hamlet called Randolph Centre.  In that neighborhood there lived an elderly lady named Webb, and with her lived her daughter, Belle.  Belle has another name, which used to be Webb.  After she married William O. Mattice, the noted horse thief and jail breaker, her name was Mattice.  When he went to state prison the last time, from Madison County, she married a man named Tiffney, and then her name became Tiffney.  About two years ago she left Tiffney, and she and Augustus Miller went to live with her mother.  It may be that her name ought to have been Miller then, but she didn't go by that name.  On the 30th of June there was a surprise party at Mrs. Webb's, consisting of about a dozen citizens-male and female.  they seized Miller with the evident intention of giving him a coat of tar and feathers, but he escaped, leaving a portion of his vest and shirt in the hands of William Tiffney.  This was because Tiffney held fast to the garments longer than he held to Miller. Belle made a great row about it, and they besmeared her with tar, and ornamented the house somewhat with the same quality of fresco.  They then cleaned the house, as they were relatives, and wanted to be neighborly as relatives should be, and departed.
