SAUNDERS - ROBINSON: In St. Paul's Church Oxford [Chenango Co. NY] Oct. 16th, by Rev. Mr. Robinson, assisted by Rev. R.M. Duff, Mr. Robert Saunders to Miss Annie Robinson both of Jackson, Miss.
There was a fashionable gathering at St. Paul's Church on Tuesday morning, last week, The occasion being the marriage of Mr. Robert Saunders and Miss Annie M., daughter of Mr. J.W. Robinson, years ago a resident of our town. All the parties reside at Jackson, Mississippi, and the nuptials were to have been celebrated in that place, but the prevalence of yellow fever necessitated a change in the order of arrangements.
The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. J.A. Robinson, of Cortland, an uncle of the bride, assisted by the Pastor, Rev. R.M. Duff. The bride was richly dressed and is said to have been the fairest bride that has graced the altar of that church. The groom was dressed in the customary black suit, and though a stranger, won the esteem and respect of all by his gentlemanly bearing, particularly of those who were fortunate enough to make his acquaintance.
After the ceremony, the bridal party returned to the St. James hotel, where a short reception was tendered and refreshments served. A number of relatives of the bride residing in town were present, as well as many of our distinguished citizens. Congratulations were tendered and the time happily spent. At 12:01 the happy couple took the train for New York for an extensive bridal tour amid the best wishes of their many friends - new and old, who hope to greet them in our village again on some future occasion.

McNAIR: In Magnolia, Miss. Oct. 13th, Mrs. Hannah Merrill McNair aged 51 years.
Died at her home in Magnolia, Miss., on the morning of the 13th inst., Mrs. HANNAH MCNAIR, the beloved wife of Gen. McNair, of that that place. She was born in the State of New York and had lived through her fiftieth year. For ten or a dozen years previous to her marriage with Gen. McNair, she resided in this city (Jackson) where she had many dear and true friends to whom the sad tidings of her death are deeply painful.
Mrs. McNair was a lady whose character was adorned by many rare and excellent virtues. To a mind highly cultivated, she added strength and energy of character; and these, combined with the gentleness of a true woman, and, with strict integrity of purpose, made her successful in her undertakings. She was a Christian of deep and unfeigned piety. For many years she was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a consistent follower of her Divine Lord. In every relation of life, the virtues of her religion shone forth in her daily walk. She was a most loving wife and mother, a kind neighbor, a most true and earnest friend. How hard to estimate the loss of such a Christian woman such a wife and mother, to the dear ones whom she has left behind! To them, in their sad bereavement, we tender our heartfelt sympathies.

CUNNINGHAM: In Greene [Chenango Co. NY] Oct. 13th, Chas. F.G. Cunningham
The funeral of Sir Knight C.F.G Cunningham took place Wednesday at Greene. There were present about 125 Masons from Norwich, Oxford, Binghamton and surrounding towns. Mr. Cunningham has had the consumption for several years, but has fought the disease to the last, while realizing that "his days were numbered." During the summer he has been unable to attend to any considerable business connected with his store, but with an attendant has camped out. Finally realizing that the end was near at hand, he returned home and strange to say made arrangements for his own funeral. He requested that he might be buried by the Fraternity, even dictating as to the pall bearers and the location of the grave in the family lot. Before his death he requested his wife to prepare dresses for the occasion. He passed away peacefully, and the community and Masonic Fraternity have lost a good citizen and brother. Binghamton Leader

The deceased was the oldest woman in the place and has always resided here. At the time of her birth, the village consisted of but one house beside that of her father. She has been closely connected with the village and its inhabitants and always manifested a lively interest in the church, of which for many years she has been an active and devoted member. Thus, has a Christian woman of good works been called home, a devoted mother has gone to her rest and those who are left will bear witness of her untiring kindness and love. Her funeral was largely attended on Sunday, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Wilson of Christ Church.
