Marriage

MORRILL - ROBERTS:  At Christ Church in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], May 6th, 1878, by Rev. T.L Randolph, Mr. Charles A. Morrill of Marshalltown, Iowa and Miss Selina Roberts of Albert Lee, Minn.

Last Monday morning our village lost one of its brightest ornaments.  Miss Nina Roberts who has been a resident among us for the past year, took upon herself the rosy chains of wedlock and in company with her husband, Mr. Charles A Morrill, started for their future home in Marshalltown, Iowa.  Quite a party of young people accompanied them as far as Syracuse where they were handsomely entertained at dinner, the bride and groom presiding.  A large company of friends witnessed the ceremony, which was performed in Christ Church by the Rector, T.L. Randolph, most beautifully and impressively.  Lovely floral gifts adorned the chancel.  Kind wishes and many fond remembrances follow them to their new home.  May it be one of happiness and prosperity.

The child died from its injuries in about three hours in great agony.
