Mr. & Mrs. A.B. Smith

Bainbridge Republican, January 27, 1888

Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Smith held an informal reception at their home on Kirby street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] last Thursday, it being the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.  The occasion was a very enjoyable one.  Of their five children, four were there to participate in the pleasures of the day.  One son, living in the far west, was unable to be present, but, we doubt not, was with them in spirit.  Children, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, friends and neighbors united in offering their congratulations and wishes for a happy future.  Among the many presents were a gold headed cane and umbrella, and $90 in gold coin.  Not the least noticeable was the refreshment room, where the table heavily laden with most tempting viands, and the happy faces of the attendants proclaimed the marriage  feast.  Mr. A.B. Smith and Miss Jane Baily were married at Guilford Centre [Chenango Co., NY], Jan. 19, 1838 by the Rev. Mr. Harnon.  Immediately after their marriage, Mr and Mrs. Smith came to this village [Bainbridge], where they have since resided.

H.B. Cook, in a neat and appropriate speech, making the presentation.  Mr. and Mrs. Seeley both responded, and expressed their pleasure at seeing so many of their old friends, unexpected though it was, and thanking them for their gifts, which spoke volumes more than they could express of cemented friendship.
