Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1911 |
| These clippings from ancient
and fragile newspapers stored above the Troy Gazette-Register office are
being typed by Tri-County volunteers for presentation on site. Primarily
we are preserving the neighborhood news columns and the obituary, marriage
and birth information included in them. I intend also to include articles
that show the influences on the lives and attitudes of our local populations
at the time, and I will also illustrate the individual pages with ads from
the era. Nothing is more revealing of lifestyle than the goods and services
available.
The TGR covers the area of all townships surrounding Troy and many neighborhoods have a local column submitted, but not necessarily every week or even every year. Our thanks goes to the staff of the Troy Gazette-Register for giving us access to this valuable old news so that we can share it with you. There is no better way to understand the culture and customs of our old communities than by sifting through these clippings. Even the names of some of these old communities have ceased to exist in today's world, but we have them captured and preserved here. If you do not have the time to enjoy the luxury of sifting through clippings, these will be included in the Search Engine which you can reach from the "Front Door" of the Tri-County Genealogy & History sites by Joyce M. Tice. |

Romantic Marriage at Bentley Creek.
Referring to the recent marriage of Charles Fremont Chamberlain and
Mrs. Nancy Cofflin Winegard at the Baptist Parsonage in Wellsburg, where
they were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wilcox, the Bentley Creek correspondent
of the Towanda Review writes:
“A Romance is connected with the wedding. Mr. Chamberlain
and Miss Coffin were schoolmates of long ago, and 42 years ago Mr. Chamberlain,
then but a small boy, went with his parents to reside in South Dakota,
hence they drifted apart. Miss Coffin was later married and became
a widow, and for the past two years she has made her home in White Hall,
Mich. She returned here from Philadelphia this spring, where she
had been spending the winter. During her two years’ absence Mr. Chamberlain
had returned to Bentley Creek and purchase the old farm where Mrs. Winegard
was raised adjoining the farm where he had spent his early days.
A fine new dwelling and farm buildings now mark the spot where the old
homestead once stood, and it was to this home that Mr. Chamberlain brought
his bride. Both are highly respected and have a host of friends who
wish them happiness and prosperity as they journey on life’s pathway.”

one Wednesday evening when the Rev. Glenn A. Baldwin at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. E. C. Dickinson in West Burlington united in marriage their daughter,
Miss Cynthia Dickinson to Percy S. King of this boro. About eighty
of their relatives and intimate friends were present to witness the ceremony
and enjoy all the good things in the way of decorations, edibles and badinage
which followed. The bride was becomingly gowned in white crepe de
chine and her going away gown was of dark blue whip-cord. Her flowers
were white roses. The plan of their fun-loving friends to delay their
departure by automobile and the midnight train for Washington was carefully
laid and under ordinary circumstances ought to have succeeded but they
had not counted on the resourcefulness of the bridegroom. When all
were assembled on one side of the house around the Carpenter car which
was to bear them away, the newly married pair escaped through a window
to the B. B. Mitchell car on the opposite side and were off so quickly
for Canton that of the bags of rice, oats, tin cans, et cetera, which had
been so carefully provided, but a single handful of rice was thrown.
Mr. King is the genial “Percy” of Beardsley & Colony’s
hardware. Miss Dickinson has been for two or three years a valued
member of the public school faculty. The groom’s fine home at the
corner of King and Elmira streets awaits their return from the National

The VanDyne-Nearing Wedding in Philadelphia.
An autumnal wedding of note commensurated of the union
of the two prominent and wealthy families which it represented was that
of Thursday, October 10th, when Miss Dorothy Nearing of Philadelphia, became
the bride of Henry Bowers VanDyne, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Everett
VanDyne of Troy. This happy event also celebrated the twenty-ninth
wedding anniversary of the groom’s parents. The wedding ceremony
was performed by the pastor in the Universalist church of the Messiah.
Promptly at 6:30 o’clock the bridal party entered the
church to the strains of Lohengrin’s march. First the ushers, Allen
Pierce of Troy, Dudley Redfield of Hartford, Conn., and Guy and Max Nearing
of Philadelphia, brothers of the bride, followed by the bridesmaids, the
Misses Beatrice Nearing and Elizabeth VanDyne, each carrying large bouquets
of white chrysanthemums in a setting of autumnal oak leaves, having for
a beautiful contrasting background the filmy light blue gowns of the fair
ones. Next came the maid of honor, Miss Mary Nearing, in a gown of
light blue charmeuse, carrying a bouquet of pink roses. The bride
followed leaning on the arm of her father. She was attired in a very
handsome gown of white satin trimmed with orange blossoms and rose point
lace, and inheritance from her grandmother. They were met at the
altar by the groom and best man, Mr. George Case of Troy. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party and guest repaired to “Hamilton
Court,” where an elegant reception was held. The hall was a bower
of beauty, with its elaborated decorations of chrysanthemums, oak leaves
and palms, which represented the artistic skill and handiwork of the city’s
finest florist. The guests were received by the bride and groom,
assisted by their parents, and contrary to the usual custom, mingled with
and entertained their guests while they partook of the wedding menu, after
which they repaired to an adjoining room, where the bridal table was beautiful
and complete in all of its appointments, the decorations being in accord
with that of the other rooms. A pleasing incident was the leave
taking of the bride and groom, marching down the long hall bowing and smiling
to all as they passed, with such grace and dignity that we were carried
back in memory to description of the colonial weddings of our great-grandmothers,
and it seemed almost fitting to conclude with the old-time stately minuet.

ring, the best man and ushers, valuable scarf pins, while the bride favored
her attendants with bar pins set with pearls. The presents were many,
being both costly and rare, among them a Baby Grand Steinway piano, presented
