NEWTON - THOMAS

Bristol, N. Y. - The marriage of Jno. Newton to Lida Thomas was solemnized at the bride's parents last Wednesday p.m. The wedding was a very pleasant affair. The bride, who was altogether charming, was the recipient of many beautiful presents. The groom was highly elated and all congratulated him on winning one of the finest young ladies in our section.

MALLERY - WALKER

Married, Dec. 25, 1889, at the home of the bride's grandfather, Henry Brooks, in Canandaigua, Edwin D. Mallery, of Pawnee City, Neb., to Miss Minnie Walker, of Canandaigua. After a short visit with friends they will take up their residence in Pawnee City, Neb. The good wishes of their many friends follow them.

WHITMAN - LYON

The latest sensation in the town of Naples is the marriage of Frank Whitman and Miss Myrtie Lyon, of that town, the course of whose love has been anything but smooth, but which, in agreement with the old adage, proves to have been true. The manner in which their marriage was prevented on two occasions was remarkable to say the least. On one occasion they were riding in a carriage on their way to the minister's residence, when they were surprised by some men who stopped the horse, took Whitman from his prospective bride's side, and carried him in another conveyance to another town. Only a day or so after, when the couple had renewed their efforts to become one and stood before the minister in the young lady's home, the young man was arrested by an officer and taken away. He was released on bail next day, and it is believed that the persistent lovers have since succeeded in consummating their fond hopes. The cause of all the trials and tribulations through which they passed is said to be the usual one of parental opposition. Whatever the merits of the case, the young people are entitled to credit for their loyalty and perseverance under trying circumstances.

On 17 January was published in same newspaper:

Editor, Ontario County Journal:  So much has been published during the past week in regard to the marriage of Frank Whitman and Miss Myrtie Lyon, of the town of Naples, and no definite reason given why the young man's friends were so averse to the union, that the Whitman family ask that a true statement of the affair be made public through the columns of your paper. It is no more than natural that parents should object to a marriage between a son who, though twenty-seven years of age, never has been nor ever will be capable of thinking or acting for himself, and a girl who figured conspicuously in a lawsuit less than eight months ago, to recover damages from a certain young man in this town for the birth of her illegitimate child, and these people that have taken such an active part, and caused these rumors to be printed, are the same ones that were instrumental in her ruin and downfall.

They paid for their tickets at the M. E. parsonage, the agent being the Rev. Mr. Gates.
