Wick - Stratton

Chenango Union, January 30, 1890

At 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon occurred the marriage of Miss Alice Stratton, to Gregory Wick.  Shortly before the ceremony the relatives and friends of the interested parties assembled in the parlors of the American Hotel, of which the bride's father is the proprietor.  At the appointed hour the couple took their position before Rev. C.C. Otis, pastor of the Congregational church, by whom the marriage service was pronounced.  It was a very unique wedding, thoroughly tasteful, and entirely informal.  The bride was attired in her traveling dress.  After receiving the sincere congratulations of the company, and their good wishes for long and happy years of wedded life, the guests sat down to a rich collation.  Those in attendance were the relatives and immediate friends of the contracting parties, and some of the permanent boarders at the hotel.  Among the faces of those from out of town we noted Mr. and Mrs. Henry Juliand, of Greene; Mr. and Mrs. George Stratton, of South Oxford; Miss Grace Conklin, of Binghamton; and Mr. Alexis Wheeler, of Mt. Upton.  The prevailing sickness prevented some from attending, but the wide circle of friends was forcibly illustrated by some of the cards attached to the numerous and costly wedding presents, for we observed some from Hudson, Medina, Cortland, and Rome, in New York state, and from Philadelphia, Chicago and Denver.  After a pleasant reception Mr. and Mrs. Wick took their departure, amid the proverbial shower of rice, on the 5:10 train.
