DE SIO - DEL PAPA
At St. Francis de Sales church at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon took
place the marriage of Miss Livia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Del Papa of Torrey Park, to Frederick De Sio of
No. 98 North Genesee street. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Edward
J. Dwyer, assistant pastor of the church in the presence of the largest
crowd that
probably ever attended a wedding at St. Francis. Long before the
time set for the performance of the ceremony the curious crowd began to
assemble and at 1 o'clock it is estimated that there were over 1,000 in
the church and outside. Every walk in life was represented in the
gathering and all seemed to be greatly interested in the unusual event
that was about to happen. At a few minutes before the appointed hour
the bridal party arrived. Following them in fourteen carriages were
their relatives and immediate friends. The procession formed in the
vestibule and headed by John O'Brien, John W. Reddy, Frank J. Lydon and
Daniel Dannahee, who acted as ushers, the party slowly marched to the
altar rail where Father Dwyer met them. The formation of the bridal
procession was unusual inasmuch as it is the custom to have relatives
and friends
precede the principals. The formation of yesterday is said to be
followed
exclusively in foreign countries.
Immediately after the ceremony the bridal
party was driven to a photographers to sit for pictures, while
the relatives and friends were driven to the home of the bride's
father on North Sherrill street where a reception was held. Many
Americans attended the affair. When the bridal party arrived at
the house their Italian friends lined the porches and walks and
generously showered them with small candies. After receiving the
congratulations of her relatives the bride received the guests in the
front parlors.
The reception at the home of the bride's parents lasted until 6 o'clock
last night when the couple departed for their newly furnished home at
No. 98 North Genesee street. Here they received some of their most
intimate friends.
The bride, who is said to be the prettiest Italian woman in this part
of the state, was beautifully gowned in a Carney creation of white silk
trimmed with genuine imported medallion lace decorations. She wore a
short veil attached to a wreath of white lilacs and carried an immense
shower of bride roses. She was attended by her younger sister, Miss
Georgianna Del Papa, who was daintily gowned in white silk. She wore a
large chiffon hat
and carried white carnations. The groom was attended by his brother,
Anniello De Sio of New York. The bride was the recipient of many useful
gifts from her American friends in the city. The groom presented her a
handsome ring, diamond earrings, a beautifully engraved gold watch and
a heavy gold chain bracelet. The best man's gift was a beautiful fur
muffler.
The Italian friends of the couple began the celebration of the
memorable day early yesterday morning and several banquets were
tendered the couple at the bride's home. One function followed another
in rapid succession. During last evening the Italians gathered in small
groups about the colony and serenaded the bride. Some of the songs were
weird and impressive while others were gay, flippant lines from the
Italian operas. All of the singing was done to the accompaniment of an
accordion. The explosion of fireworks and the discharge of firearms
also played
an important part in the Italian's celebration but this was suspended
whenever a police officer hove in sight. Mr. and Mrs. DeSio will reside
at No. 98 Genesee street where the groom is the proprietor of a
barber shop. Mr. DeSio came here from New York some months ago. He was
a widower and is thoroughly Americanized. Contrary to the expectations
of some, there were no disturbances of any nature in the colony and
the event passed off in a commendable manner.

and palms. Miss Creque was attended only by her little cousin, Miss
Eunice Tuttle, who acted as ring bearer. As the bridal party came down
stairs the wedding march was played by
Miss Adelaide Fowle. The bride wore a gown of white silk mull and the
little ring bearer also was dressed in white. After the ceremony a

WHITEHILL - FARWELL
Oaks Corners, N. Y. - It has just become known that a marriage
with unusual features occurred here about six months ago. The parties
are Rev. J. B. Whitehill and Miss Franc Farwell. Mr.
Whitehill was pastor of the Presbyterian church
at this place for two years and resigned his position early in 1894,
but since that time he has alternated between this place and his home
in Brookfield, Pa., staying while here with relatives of Miss Farwell
most of the time and later at her parents' home. This well-kept secret
marriage seems thus far to have no known explanation, and when revealed
by a party knowing the inside of the story was received with
incredulity and still the surprise grows, as the parties themselves
have as yet made no sign, but the evidence seems to be conclusive. The
parties are of mature age and responsibility. It now seems that they
went quietly to Geneva and were married by a Baptist clergyman, the
lady being of that faith. A sister and brother-in-law were the only
witness present, so far as known. The groom is at present absent in
Pennsylvania and will doubtless be back in time to receive the
congratulations of friends, although some will be late in the day.
Additional to above: From Geneva Daily Times 25 October
1905
The article appearing a few days ago in the Times concerning the
marriage of Rev. John Burnes Whitehill and Miss E. Frances Farwell was
not only erroneous but misleading. For reasons known to the families of
both sides, the marriage was kept from the public but it was not a
secret, neither did the parties go away from home. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. J. B. Champion at
the residence of the brides' parents, the family and several near
relatives being present. The house was decorated for the occasion, a
wedding dinner was served and congratulations given, the usual
announcement and reception simply being deferred.
WHITBECK - DENNY
Another quiet marriage also is now reported as having taken place about
three weeks ago and only recently known. Miss Grace Denny was
married to Mr. Whitbeck of Phelps village. The charm of having
a secret to keep and to surprise the public seems to have quite an
attraction.

o'clock, at the residence of the bride's parents, occurred the wedding
of Elsie M. Winagle and Guy H. Detro. The ceremony
was performed under an arch of green from which was suspended a bell of
white dahlias. A profusion of flowers was in all the rooms. The bride
was charmingly gowned in white silk mull over taffeta with point
d'esprit lace. The little ring bearer, Miss Helen Winagle, sister of
the bride, was also in white. Master Gordon, brother of the bride, was
best man. The presents were elegant and numerous. An elaborate dinner
was served after which Mr. and Mrs. Detro left for Geneva amid a shower
of rice where they took the train for New York city to spend some time.
The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. W. E. Wilson, of Montour Falls, whose presence
added
much to the pleasure of the guests. The out-of-town guests were George
Osborne,
Penn Yan, Mr. and Mrs. J. Tyler, Avoca, Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Detro and
Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Holten of Rushville. Mrs. Tyler, sister of the groom,

HASSNEY - JACOBS
Shortsville, N. Y. - A marriage which aroused a great amount of
interest and curiosity in this town took place in Pratt's
hall, Manchester, at 10 o'clock this morning, the bride being an
eighteen-year-old Syrian maiden, Miss Lena Jacobs, who
traveled from Beirut, Syria, nearly half way round the world, to become
the wife of Leo Hassney, the eighteen-year-old son of Abbott
Hassney, a prosperous merchant of Manchester. The marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Michaels, and lasted for two hours. According to
the Greek custom, two wedding rings were used, one from the groom to
the bride, and one from the bride to the groom. The bride, attired in a
Paris gown of cream colored satin, princess effect, cut en traine, and
richly trimmed with real valenciennes lace,
wearing a beautiful imported white picture hat heavily trimmed with
ostrich
plumes and carrying a bouquet of bride roses, was attended by Miss Mary
Jacobi, of Glens Falls, and Solomon Georgek, of Wilkes Barre, acted as
best man. After the ceremony the guests were entertained at a wedding
feast at the Hassney home, where one hundred chickens and a fat sheep
had been prepared as a part of the repast. The wedding festivities,
according
to Greek custom in well-to-do families, will last throughout the entire
week, the big day being today, when the Syrian wedding dance will be
celebrated.
A large number of guests were present, the number expected
being 500 and included many from New York, Albany, Wilkes Barre, Glen
Falls, Rochester, Buffalo, Canandaigua and Geneva. As opposed to the
custom in this country, the Greeks make their wedding gifts to the
groom, and in every case the token is money, the amounts varying from
$5 to $30, according to the size of the donor's purse.
Several months ago, Abbott Hassney, the father of the groom, decided
that his son was old enough to take up the responsibilities of life,
and in accordance with a foreign custom, he set about selecting a
suitable wife for his heir. Just the right person did not cross his
path in this country, so, remembering his friends and relatives in
his homeland, he sent $300 across to Syria to defray the expenses of
a maiden from that country to this, and in response Miss Jacobs,
accompanied
by a brother of Mr. Hassney, made the long journey, arriving in
Manchester October 26 after a forty-one days' trip. She is an
attractive, dark-eyed girl. Mr. and Mrs. Hassney will reside in
Manchester.
