Marriage
BOYD - STILSON: In Masonville [Delaware Co. NY] February 7th, by the Rev. N. Ripley, Mr. George W. Boyd of Tompkins [Delaware Co. NY] and Miss Sarah A. Stilson of Masonville.
BYINGTON - MARTIN: Charles Byington of Syracuse [Onondaga Co. NY] and Miss Hattie Martin of Coventry [Chenango Co. NY] were united in wedlock at the residence of the bride's parents in the latter place on Wednesday last, and they at once left for Syracuse where Mr. B. is in business.
Mr. Editor: We would like to notice in our village journal the reception given Mr. W.R. Price and wife on Wednesday evening of last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.S. Graves. A very pleasant time was enjoyed. Mr. Price is a man who has sojourned among us in the past. We know him to be a man of the right stamp, and from what we read of his wife in the Putnam county Standard, we believe he has made a wise choice. She is a lady very highly spoken of. the many friends and presents that clustered around the bridal altar, proves the high esteem in which she, as a lady and teacher, was held. We think they are well matched, both in form and character. May their days on earth be many and their life be that of the just, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day. E.H.
