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.

SMITH - SMITH
Canadice, N. Y. - Last Thursday, Jan. 17th, Mr. Edwin
Doolittle and Miss Emma Eldridge of Canadice, and Willard
Smith of Richmond and Mary Smith of Richmond,
drove to Livonia through wind, mud and snow and took passage on the old
ship Matrimony. They paid for their tickets at the M. E. parsonage, the
agent being the Rev. Mr.
Gates. It was a stormy undertaking, and while one lady could Doolittle
more than change her name, the other did not do that even. We extend
our
congratulations.
