Bunnell - Haynes

Chenango Union, January 9, 1890

A pleasant social event occurred at the spacious residence of Miss Caroline Haynes, in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], New Year's evening, when she was united in marriage to Mr. Bradley Bunnell, a late resident of Penn Yan, N.Y.  The ceremony was performed in the presence of about thirty guests, all near relatives of the contracting parties, by the Rev. Lynch, Rector of Christ Church.  The parlors were beautifully dressed in Xmas greens and ferns, the initial letters appearing in white flowers tied with white ribbon. The bride wore a rich costume of brown silk and plush, with diamond ornaments and natural flowers.  The supper did credit to Mr. Ferris' established reputation as caterer.  The viands were ordered from Norwich, and were most agreeably served.  The gifts were numerous and beautiful, comprising lovely laces, choice books, silver, china, fancy articles, and charming pictures.  It was a reunion of the Bunnell family, which had not occurred in twenty-six years.
