Marriage
GREENE - REESE: At the Baptist church in this village, October 8, 1879, by the bride's uncle, Rev. J.J. Riddell of Wakefield, Mass., assisted by Rev. G.R. Burnside, Rev. John Greene of Waterford, N.Y. [Saratoga Co.] and Miss Annie D. Reese of this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY].
The happiest event of the season occurred last Wednesday, when the Rev. John Greene of Waterford, N.Y. led to the alter Miss Annie D. Reese, daughter of H.G.C. Reese, of this village [Sherburne]. The ceremony was performed in the Baptist church, which was elaborately and tastefully decorated for the occasion. The pulpit was covered with bouquets, vases of flowers and plants in jars and the walls gracefully hung with wreaths and festooned with evergreens. Two large crosses of ivy were placed at each end of the desk and on the windowsills were plants in jars. At the head of each aisle was erected a bridal arch of evergreens and from the eastern arch was suspended "the marriage bell," artistically designed and beautifully wrought. It attracted much admiration. It was the work of Mrs. S. Turner, who, we understand, with Miss Minda Williams had charge of the decorations. At an early hour the audience room was filled to overflowing by the admiring friends of the bride who came to witness the nuptials.
Promptly at four o'clock P.M., the bridal party arrived, and stepping upon the carpet extending from the carriage to the vestibule, were ushered into the church by Messrs. John Powers and William Caulkins. The bride and bridegroom took their places in front of the pulpit with Miss Lena Colwell as bridesmaid and Mr. Frank Reese as groomsman. The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. R.R. Ridall of Wakefield, Mass., an uncle of the bride and fervent prayer was offered by Rev. G.R. Burnside, her pastor, that the future of the twain may be marked with usefulness, pleasantness and prosperity. At the close of the ceremony the bride was greeted by a large number of pupils from Union School, a large procession of which had arrived too late to witness the ceremony. In fact, there were hundreds unable to get into the audience room. the bridal party drove immediately to the residence of the bride's parents where a reception was given and a bounteous collation served.
The bride was attired in a plain black dress and appeared with the usual characteristic simplicity and modesty that has made her the favorite of such a large circle of admirers in this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Greene took their departure by the evening train for their new home at Waterford, amid the congratulations and good wishes of a large number of friends who escorted them to the depot to bid them goodbye.
