Weds Claudine Pickens

Morris, Nov. 18---A pretty November wedding was solemnized at the Baptist church here at 1 o'clock Saturday when Miss Claudine Pickens, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pickens of Morris township, and Robert M. Stafford, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Stafford of South Broad street, were united in marriage by Rev. H. E. Danielson, pastor of the church, in the presence of relatives and close friends.

The bride was gowned in dark blue velvet and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The matron of honor, Mrs. Richard Stafford, wore blue chiffon and carried a corsage bouquet of small white chrysanthemums. The best man was Richard Stafford, younger brother of the groom. Harry Pickens, the bride's brother, and Guy Chase of Morris acted as ushers.

A small reception followed the ceremony at the groom's residence where a wedding luncheon was served, after which the young couple left on a brief wedding trip.

Mr. and Mrs. Stafford will reside in Morris, where Mr. Stafford is publisher and proprietor of the Morris Chronicle. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stafford are popular young people and have many friends who will extend felicitations. Guests were present from Oneonta, Norwich, Gilbertsville, Laurens and Morris.

Hollis—Cornell

Miss Alice Cornell, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Cornell of 161 Parrish Street, and Edwin Hollis of Endicott, N. Y., son of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Hollis of Wyalusing, were married at 11 o'clock this morning in the parsonage of the Parrish Street M . E. Church with the bride's father officiating. The ceremony was performed in front of the fireplace which was banked with dahlias. There were no

attendants.

The bride wore eagle blue transparent velvet with real lace trimming and rhinestone buckle, with slippers to match and carried white roses.

A reception and breakfast for twenty guests followed at the parsonage. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis later left on a motor trip. Her going away costume was a gray ensemble with accessories to match. The couple will reside in Endicott.

The bride attended school at Morris, N. Y., and studied music at Wyoming Seminary. She and her parents have resided in Wilkes-Barre since April, having come here from Wyalusing where her father was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The bridegroom is a graduate of Wyalusing High School.

During the week the bride was entertained at a number of parties. The Sunday School Class of which she is a member tendered her a variety shower at the home of Miss Ruth Davey on McLean Street. She was also the guest of honor at a variety shower held at the home of Mrs. John Bakun of Iona Place. Last night the Young Woman's Missionary Society of the Parrish Street M. E. Church tendered her a shower at the home of Mrs. George Zurner on Brown Street.

Out-of-town guest in attendance at the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Hollis of 
Wyalusing, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hollis of Binghamton, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cornell 
and daughter Elaine, Walter Cornell of Edmeston, New York, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Van 
DeMark, Mrs. Thomas McHenry of Endicott; Ruth Hollis of Berea, Ohio---Times
 Leader Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, September 16^th.



Addendum:  There is no year listed for their marriage, but it may be around 1934.  I am estimating that year from another item on that page of the scrapbook.  

On the 1940 census,  I found this family living in Vestal, Broome County, NY.  His 
estimated date of birth was 1909 and his occupation was listed as a draftsman in a machine shop and she was a housewife.
