Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1904 - Yesterday's News |
||
| 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 Partitioned PICO Search Engine which you can reach from current What's New Page of the site. There is a partition just for the TGR Clippings. |

Refused to Marry.
The Waverly correspondent of the Sayre Times, says that John M. Loomis, a deaf mute of 40 years of age, whose home is in East Smithfield, and who follows the occupation of a farmer, and Miss Florence D. Passage, of Milan, a blushing maiden of 19 summers, appeared at the office of Judge Charles O. Hoagland Thursday afternoon and requested to be joined in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The judge did not quite like the idea of joining a young girl for life, to a mute old enough to be her father, and so, after a careful consideration of the case, he declined to do so. The man was much put out and the young woman seemed quite disappointed, but the judge was firm and so they departed, presumably to find some one who would be more compliant in the matter.
A Milan correspondent of this paper announces the marriage to have taken place that day.
