CHENEY - PECK


A PLEASANT WEDDING - A very pleasant wedding occurred at the residence of the late Lewis Peck, in the town of Phelps, on Thursday last, April 20.  The persons most directly interested were Mr. Charles Cheney, of Newark, N. J., formerly of Geneva, and Miss Cora Peck, daughter of Lewis Peck.  Both are well known in Geneva and surrounding towns, and had a general gathering of their friends taken place, the large house would have been filled.  But no invitations were issued, and only a small party of relatives and friends were present.  The ceremony took place at 2 P. M., Rev. R. Cheney, of N. J., the father of the groom, officiating, assisted by Rev. L. Bailey, pastor of the Baptist Church at Phelps.  An elegant dinner was then served, and the happy couple left on the 4:30 train for a trip to the east, expecting to reach their home to-day (Wednesday).  The many who know and esteem them both wish them more than the usual amount of happiness.  For the present, they will board, their address in Newark being corner Broad and Central Avenue, where, no doubt, they will be glad to see their Geneva and Phelps friends when in the city.

A Fashionable Wedding - A fashionable wedding which took place at Trinity church on Monday morning at half past eight o'clock, attracted a good sized congregation.  The happy pair who on that day began their married life, were Lieutenant Eugene A.

Gardner acted as ushers.  Prof. Cramer presided at the organ, playing a minuet from Handel's Samson, a selection, the Coronation March from Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete", an Impromptu Valse, and Allegretto from Symphony of Mendelssohn's "Lohgesang."  The bridal party entered the church to the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Wagner's Lohengrin, and advanced to the chancel, where Rev. Dr. Hinsdale was in waiting to perform the ceremony.  The four ushers led the way, followed by Mrs. Spencer, mother of the bride, and Mr. P. N. Nicholas.  The bride, on the arm of her future husband, came last.  She wore the customary bridal costume and veil.  The happy man wore the uniform as an officer of the United States Army, and looked every inch a soldier.  The impressive scene was soon ended, Schumann's Traumerel being softly played throughout, and to the joyous notes of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis left the church, followed by the best wishes of many friends for their future happiness.  They left for New York on the ten o'clock train, and from there they go at once to Fort Clark, Texas, where Mr. Ellis joins his regiment, the 8th Cavalry.

Wedding at Victor.     Mr. Editor:  Seldom has it been our pleasure to meet a more pleasant company than that assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. Gallup, of Victor, N. Y., on Wednesday evening December 3d, to witness the marriage ceremony of their niece, Miss Libbie Boughton, to Mr. Jas. G. Vail, of Geneva.

The bridal party entered the room to the music of the wedding march, and the words, "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder," were soon spoken.  After congratulations and an exceptionally social supper, the bridal party left on the evening train for Geneva.  The presents were not only beautiful but substantial.  One especially noticeable, a lovely cake basket bearing upon a card the hieroglyphics O. M. and the names of eight well known young people of the place.  It would not be possible, however, to enumerate all the gifts.  We think, however, they were a sincere evidence of the appreciation in which the bride is held by her friends in the community where she has lived.  We understand that they also found some beautiful gifts awaiting them on their arrival in Geneva.  "Long live the happy pair."     One Who Was Present.

FITZGERALD - O'BRIEN

Chapinville, N. Y. - Thomas FitzGerald
was married to Mary Ann O'Brien on Wednesday of last week at St. Mary's church, Canandaigua. We extend our congratulations. The boys went down to give them a little music Monday evening, and they had just commenced to make a racket when the bridegroom opened the door and invited them in, each congratulating him as they passed the door. They were well-treated to apples and cider, having a good time in general. When about to depart cigars were passed and they returned wishing him a long happy life. Only one missing feature was that the bride was not there until it had all passed.

COLF - BRUNDAGE

The announcement has just been made public of the marriage at Honeoye Falls, on the 14th inst., of Mr. Charles Colf and Miss Maude Brundage, both of Hopewell. This matrimonial alliance being the result of an attachment which met the determined opposition of the bride's grandparents and guardians, they were not apprised of its approach, nor of its consummation until the young couple had reached the residence of a sister of the groom at Lima after the ceremony. From there the bride wrote of the event and assured the old folks that she was just too happy for anything, although she would be glad to see them provided the husband of her choice would be welcomed with her.
