Hollis, Edwin wed to Alice Cornell   Wilkes-Barre Wedding   About 1934

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 16th.



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.

Hutchinson, Rev. E. E. 1871-1933 Morris Obituary

Hutchinson, Rev. E. E. 1871-1933 Morris Obituary

REV. E. E. HUTCHINSON

It is with deep regret that we record the passing of the Rev. E. E. Hutchinson
the beloved rector of Zion church at Morris. Father Hutchinson was taken ill on Friday last and passed away in the early hours of Monday morning. Almost 15 years ago he became rector of Morris, coming there from the village of Brushton, New York. He was born in Wyoming, N. Y., in 1871, and married Miss Josephine Lewis of Troy, N. Y., in 1899. He was ordained Deacon in 1915, and advanced to the Priesthood in 1916. He is survived by his widow and a son and daughter.
His interest and love in the parish of Morris and surrounding villages has been a great work; a friend of all, a man of sterling character, one with a true sense of humour, a personality which one rarely meets, a faithful pastor and priest.
At the Garden Club, the School Board, the Library, to say nothing of the huge parish, his help was always freely given, and his place will be hard to fill. In the home and among his intimate friends, was where you saw the real christian in the trues sense of the word, a saintly man.
For many years Fr. Hutchinson has been one of the Lenten preachers at Saint Paul's church, Sidney. He helped to form the Garden Club, and only a very short time ago, addressed the Sidney Exchange Club.
The burial took place on Wednesday, preceded by the Order of burial of the Dead, in Zion church, Morris, at 2:00 p. m. The Right Reverend G. Ashton Oldham, D. D., Bishop of Albany, officiated. To the bereaved family we extend our sincere sympathy. A floral tribute was sent by the members of the Sidney Garden Club.

Find A Grave Memorial for Rev. E. E. Hutchinson 
Rev. Elmore Edward Hutchinson died March 8, 1933. His son was Marshall Hoyt Hutchinson. Marshall died in 1969 and is buried at Hillington along with his wife.

Oneonta Herald Death Notices 1853-1861

Death & Marriage Notices
Oneonta Herald
Starting March 16, 1853
Compiled and Contributed by
 Sandy Goodspeed 
 
 This evening, I've been going through a few years of these
Marriage and Death Notices.  I've only included a few of the MANY 
Death Notices here to emphasize how grateful I am to be living in the present. 

No matter how imperfect our modern medicine is, we can be so very 
thankful for the progress that has occurred since these years noted
below. 

To see so many young people die of consumption, scarlatina, typhoid
fever, diptheria, and other diseases is heart breaking.  I can't even fathom
losing 3 children to a disease like diptheria, one right after another, let 
alone seeing the torture they would go through. 
 
I'm not sure if putrid sore throat is also diptheria.  It might be. 
 
We can be so thankful that we live in the age that we do.  Donna

Jones, Mary (Rodney) 1846-1934 Garrattsville Obituary

Jones, Mary (Rodney) 1846-1934 Garrattsville Obituary

Mrs. Mary R. Jones, 88,
Dies at Garrattsville

New Lisbon, May 22---Mrs. Mary R. Jones, 88, widow of Michael C. Jones, died early this morning at the Home of Donald Bennington, near Garrattsville.
Mary H. Rodney was born in the town of Pittsfield April 11, 1846. Her parents were William and Isabel (McCoy) Rodney. Seventy-two years ago she married Mr. Jones. Nearly their entire married life was spent in the village of Garrattsville, where Mr. Jones died 15 years ago.
She was a member of the Presbyterian church. Her only near surviving relatives are a nephew, William H. Rodney of West Winfield, and a niece, Mrs. Lillian Rooney of South New Berlin.
The funeral will be held in the Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Joseph Muglin, pastor of the church, will officiate.

The place of interment is unreadable.


On the 1880 Census,
Michael was 40
Mary was 34
William Radley, 6, was listed as a boarder, so I assume they took in
a child and were caring for him.

I was unable to locate them on any other census reports.
