- Newspaper Article - Thursday, February 1, 1883 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Matrimonial - "Thursday, January 25, at half past four p.m." At the hour above-mentioned, a very large number of wedding guests had assembled at the residence of T. R. Ingersoll, on Jefferson street, in this village. The house was ablaze with lights, every room was thrown open and the decorations were very beautiful. The occasion, so long and pleasantly to be remembered, was that of the nuptials of Mr. C. Frank Woods, a young man of sterling qualities, and excellent standing in this village and Miss Nellie Ingersoll, only child of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Ingersoll. Not many moments after the hour mentioned at the beginning of this article, the youthful pair, preceded by the officiating clergyman, and accompanied by the parents of the bride and other intimate friends, appeared in the parlor, where, in a few well-chosen, distinctly spoken words, Rev. S. T. Dibble pronounced them husband and wife and presented "Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woods" to the assembled guests. Then followed an exceedingly merry half hour devoted to congratulations and visiting, supplemented by the serving of a most sumptuous repast. Everything that the heart could wish was provided, fruit and grapes in the last course were especially palatable. In the upper hall was a broad table, glittering with an unusually elegant display of silver ware and other gifts suitable and appropriate for wedding presents. This was constantly surrounded by an admiring audience. Here were presents fanciful and ornamental, presents substantial, and presents combining all these acceptable qualifications. Of the former were embroideries, pictures, and other articles in great profusion; of the second class, notably were two envelopes addressed to the bride, one from the groom's father, containing $100, and the other from the bride's father, containing $200. Of the latter was not only the silver and crystal ware, a most elegant display, but notably a $200 seal skin sacque from the bride's parents. This was especially admired by the ladies. The newly married Mr. and Mrs. Woods left on the evening train for Albany and other points east. It is the happy lot of fuel to begin married life with so many and strong assurances of future success and happiness. The Democrat congratulates.
