Utica Saturday Globe, November 1911
 

William J. & Katherine (Welch) Sullivan

 

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  An early morning wedding was celebrated at St. Paul's Chruch on Tuesday, when at 7:15 o'clock William J. Sullivan, of Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], and Miss Katherine Welch, of Norwich, were untied in holy wedlock by Rev. Father E.R. Prendergast.  The bride was attired in a blue traveling suit of broadcloth and wore a picture hat to match.  She carried a white prayer book.  The bridesmaid was Miss Minnie Blake, of Norwich, who was becomingly attired in brown.  The best man was John Sullivan, a brother of the groom.  After the ceremony an elaborate wedding breakfast was served at the home of the brides mother, having been prepared by Mrs. Patrick Scanlon.  The breakfast room was tastily decorated with flowers and ferns.  The wedding gifts were numerous and valuable, including many handsome pieces in cut glass, china, and silver, besides articles of linen and $125 in gold coin.  Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan escaped the usual hilarious scene at the station by slipping away in an automobile to a nearby town, where they took a train for a brief wedding trip to Buffalo and other places, after which they will be at home to their friends at Minoa, N.Y.  The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Catherine Welch, of Silver street, and for six years has had charge of the dress goods counter in the Johns, Powers & Ronan Brothers' department store, where by her uniform courtesy and expert knowledge of her stock she made many friends.  The groom is the son of John H Sullivan, of State street.  He is a young man of sterling character employed as fireman by the New York Central Railway, with headquarters at Syracuse. Both young people have the best wishes of many friends for their future prosperity and happiness.   [Glen Buell Collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]
