IDESON - ROEHRIG
A Brilliant Wedding - St. Peter's Church was filled with a gay
and happy throng on Wednesday evening. The occasion was
the nuptials of
Mr. A. B. Ideson (of the firm of Halsey
& Ideson) and
Miss Sophie E. Roehrig, second daughter of
Mrs. R. Knight, Sr., by a former husband, the late Henry Roehrig.
The wedding party entered the Church at half past 6 o'clock,
consisting of the bride conducted by a brother-in-law; the bridegroom
conducting the bride's mother; and eight bridesmaids -
no groomsmen
- which is according to the latest decree of fashion
on such occasions. With their varied and splendid toilettes added
to natural personal charms, this party constituted the most
brilliant and attractive one that ever stood before the altar at
St. Peter's.
The bride, the central figure of course in the grand cortege, who is a
dark blonde of slender form, was robed in white silk trimmed with
tulle, and veil of the latter material. The bridesmaids were
composed about equally of blondes and brunettes, forming a pleasing
contrast.
Miss Freddie Roehrig, sister of the bride, wore a white tarletan dress
with silk waist. Miss Ida, another and younger sister, just in
her teens, wore also a white tarletan, made short. Miss Louise
Adams of Rochester appeared in a rich corn-colored silk with black
velvet trimmings. Miss Mary Adams, (a
sister,) in white tarletan skirt, light blue waist, black velvet
Marguerites. Miss Libbie Nessel of Rochester, in light blue
tarletan skirt and waist, trimmed with ostrich feathers and lilies of
the valley. Miss Anna Fairchild of Waterloo, blue
tarletan with pink roses. Miss Nellie Fairchild (a sister,) in
light green tarletan with half-blown roses. Miss Kittie Hemiup,
(an accomplished teacher at our Union School,) in white tarletan skirt,
white silk waist, adorned with pink roses. All the dresses were
made with long trains.
We feel assured that every heart beat in unison with the full and
joyous tones of the organ that ushered in the betrothed and sent them
forth "twain of one flesh." The Church ceremony was pronounced in
the usually distinct, solemn and impressive manner for which Rev. Dr.
Rankine is noted. Our young townsmen, Chas. E. Young, Wm. G.
Dove, Fred Southworth, John Ramsey and Wm. L. Young, efficiently
officiated as Masters of Ceremonies, by whom all invited guests and
other spectators were provided for without confusion or other
discomfort.
From 7 till 11 p.m. the wedded pair held a reception at the commodious
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Halsey on Genesee street. Sincere and earnest
were the congratulations extended to them by the large throng
assembled. The entertainment provided was
prodigally rich in variety and quality of cake. Dancing followed
the generous repast, in which three quadrille sets at
a time found opportunity to thread the mazy figures. Mead's
quadrille band furnished the music to Mr. J. C. Parker's distinct and
intelligible calling.
A side table displayed an elegant array of wedding presents in silver,
bronze and Parian ware - substantial and enduring mementoes from
friends present and absent. The following is a complete list of
the presents with the names of the several donors:
Silver tea set, 7 pieces, from bridegroom's cousin, New York
Silver ice pitcher, from Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Halsey
Silver cake basket, jointly from G. C. Ramsey, Geo. Schell and A. Levy
Silver card receiver, H. Roehrig

Oil painting, Miss
Rose Baxter
Oil painting, Mr. and Mrs. Brickwedde
Book of prose and poetry, Miss Minnie Spendlove
Fancy chair, Mr. and Mrs. Stallknight
Mr. and Mrs. Halsey most admirably performed the duties of host and
hostess, flitting here, there and everywhere to see that were provided
for and enjoying themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Ideson forego the
customary bridal trip, settling at once very sensibly into home life
and to the stern duties which devolve particularly upon a business man.
They are to make their home for the time being with Mr. and Mrs.
Halsey.

WRIGHT - GATES
Married at the residence of
the bride's parents on the evening of the 15th inst.,
Frank Wright and
Emma Gates, all of Seneca. This
was a country wedding or a wedding in the country, and were we but well
acquainted with the parties to the contract, it would perhaps not have
been out of place to speak of the happy event more at length -- of the
old time custom of chasing the
bride about the house by the young gentlemen present -- of putting the
groom to bed by the young ladies supposed also to be present -- of the
slipper game where groans of pain and shouts of mirth commingle
not unpleasantly. But as we are acquainted with every family
in Geneva and Seneca except this, our reticence is decidedly excusable.
We hope they'll waltz through life handsomely, and in their
declining years, when the Great Harvester shall come to gather in the
sheaves
fully ripe, may they be found all WRIGHT.

CARGILL - WILSON
A Runaway Match -
A man named
Cargill, formerly a preacher
of the Free Methodist persuasion -- but now sadly fallen from grace -
was married in this village, on the 16th ult., to
Miss Ada Wilson.
The parties reside in the town of Hopewell.
The old sinner induced the young woman to accompany him to Canandaigua
while her mother was away from home, and though the mother was
in this place several hours while the couple were here, and while
the ceremony was performed, she knew nothing of the transaction until
she arrived at her home in Hopewell. Mr. and Mrs.
Cargill set out in the evening for a buggy ride homeward, but
unfortunately the horse became frightened on Railroad Avenue, at a
passing locomotive. Cargill was thrown from the vehicle into a
mud puddle, and Mrs. C. jumped to the ground, badly spraining her
ankle. She was carried into the house of Mr. Persons nearby, and
kindly cared for. This Carghill does not bear an enviable
reputation hereabouts, and the mother is very much grieved at her
daughter's course, as
is quite natural, as it is the general opinion that she has thrown
herself away upon a graceless scamp. He is some 45 or 50 years
of age, while his wife cannot be more than 16 or 17. It is a
great
pity there cannot be provided a speedy dissolution of such
mes-alliances.
