| 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. |

and appointment. To the natural beauty and dignity of the sanctuary
was added the magic of floral decorations of surpassing beauty wrought
out with palms, laurel, hundreds of pink peonies and branches of fragrant,
wisteria-like locusts from trees set by the bride’s maternal grandmother,
Mrs. Wilson when she came seventy years ago from Fall River, Mass., to

with full court train of brocaded satin. The bodice was trimmed with
heirloom rose point lace and her tulle veil was held in place by orange

cloth, trimmed with silver and point lace. Mrs. VanDyne’s gown was

of Ithaca, was the caterer with a full retinue of colored servants for
the four-course wedding supper which was served in the Lamkin home next
door. The porches of the two houses were connected by a floored canopy.
Though the gifts to the bride were almost numberless and beautiful
beyond description they but bespoke the loving esteem of an ever-widening
circle of friends which will go with her to her new home. Specially
interesting among the gifts was a Sampler, the flax for which was grown
and woven into cloth by the bride’s paternal great grandmother, Mrs. Cynthia
Everitt. The design from an old, old Gody’s Lady’s Book was cross-stitched
by an aunt and the gift presented by little cousins.

dollars.

he gave leather belts with silver monogram buckles.

Miss Porter’s school at Farmington, Conn., supplemented by two years at
Columbia University, New York City.

his father in Fall River in the Hotchkiss School and in a Boston business
