    3. Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State March 27-1891 FORMERLY OF BATAVIA. A Woman Who is Accused of Having Four Husbands. The item in 'The News' yesterday, from the Syracuse 'Standard,' telling of the matrimonial engagements of a young woman who, it was said, formerly lived in Batavia, was headed, "Who is Nora BIDLOCK?" The question is answered. In the 'Standard' it was said she was the wife of William HUBBY of Cortland, formerly of Syracuse, and that she had also been a wife to one H.R. PARKER and to a James SANDERSON. All that may be true, but she also has a husband and two children in Batavia. Alfred KEMPSTON is the husband's name and he is an employe of the Baker Gun and Forging Company. He and his children and the parents of the woman, Mr. and Mrs. J.P. BIDLOCK, live together in one of the Haller houses on the east side of Harvester avenue near the Erie track, and the woman's father is also employed at the Gun Works. Mrs. KEMPSTON has been away from home about two years. On April 24, 1889, The News printed the following item: "Alfred KEMPSTON of Spruce street is wifeless, his spouse, Norah J., having left for parts unknown yesterday. Alfred is employed in the Harvester Works and he went to his duties yesterday morning, leaving his wife at home. When he returned she was not there and it soon became evident to him that she had left his bed and board permanently. She leaves behind to comfort him in his sorrows two sons, aged five and two years. Mrs. KEMPSTON some time ago informed several people that she intended to leave her husband, it is said, and the reason she gave for her intended action was that her husband was cruel to her. KEMPSTON and his wife came from Marilla about two years ago. He is about 30 years of age and she is 23." The item from the Syracuse paper yesterday is said to have been a piece of news which surprised her husband and parents. Though she has not been a dutiful wife or child they were much pained to learn of the publicity she had gained. She is said to be good looking. Her husband is reputed to be a young man of excellent habits, affectionate, honest, and industrious, and he feels keenly the disgrace which his wife has brought upon herself. Mr. KEMPSTON says he will not again live with his wife, but that as soon as possible he will institute proceedings for a divorce. + + DURKEE-REDSHAW. A pretty wedding took place at the Bank street church at 7:30 o'clock last evening, when Miss Emma REDSHAW, daughter of George REDSHAW of State street, was united in marriage to J. Walter DURKEE of Haverhill, Mass. The church was tastefully trimmed with evergreen tops, and suspended from the ceiling was a large evergreen bell beneath which the contracting parties stood when the ceremony was performed. An arched gateway of evergreens separated the spectators from the invited guests. To the strains of delightful music, rendered by Mrs. L.C. LORISH, the bridal party entered the church. The ushers, Chauncey T. SIMONDS and Calvin H. LOOMIS< were followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Fannie STANLEY and Miss Alta CRARY, who carried white roses. Behind the bridesmaids was the maid of honor, Miss Mattie JOHNSON, niece of the bride, walking alone and carrying a basket of red roses. Then came the bride on the arm of her oldest brother, Alderman John REDSHAW. The bride was met at the altar by the groom and his brother, J. Stanley DURKEE, who was best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J.H. DURKEE, uncle to the groom, assisted by the Rev. E.Z. WHITMAN. The bride was very prettily attired in white brilliantine, with a veil. A sprig of orange blossoms adorned her head and she carried white roses. Miss STANLEY's dress was Nile green, Miss CRARY's, salmon, and Miss JOHNSON's of white material trimmed with ribbons. After the ceremony the bridal party were driven to the residence of the bride's father, where a reception was held and a bountiful wedding repast served. The bride was the recipient of a large number of handsome and valuable presents. Mr. and Mrs. DURKEE left on a late train for a brief trip and after a few days will go to their future home in Haverhill, Mass. + + We Are In It!

    1. [NY-Old-News] >> Monroe Co., NY May 4, 1848 # 1
    2. Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 4, 1848 RAILROAD ACCIDENT - The train of ca?? From this city for Buffalo, ran off the track before Bergen and Byron yesterday morning about 4 o'clock, by which the Engineer, Jeremiah GUILE and the baggageman, Henry BACKUS, were somewhat injured. The engine encountered a ???? head, which threw it bottom upward off the track, the remainder of the train with the exerp??? the baggage waggon and front end of one passenger car, remaining on the track. There was great apprehension among the passengers for the ????? the Engineer and Fireman, they being under the engine, but after half an hour they were ????ted, and we rejoice to add, received but slight ????ric? From the hot water, &c. BACKUS was taken home to Batavia, and GUILE arrived in the city on the afternoon train. ** TWO COWS KILLED BY THE RAILROAD - The train going west on Sunday ran over a cow past Attica, as did also the one coming east in the evening, near the same place. In the latter case, an open car was thrown off the track, the train being detained until after the regular night run had ???fot the east. The passengers were obliged to wait over until yesterday at 1 o'clock. ** BIGAMY CASE — We learn from the Syracuse Star of a bigamy case just developed at that place, John HILL, a carpenter by trade whose personal attractions are thus set forth "of middle age, bald head and one eye," came to Syracuse last July from Springfield Mass.; accompanied by a young girl, whom he shortly afterwards married. Recently the father and mother of the girl came on, and after attending to her wants, she having just become a mother, they had the man arrested, he having a wife and several children at the east.-- Two of his children are with the Shakers. ** MILLARD FILLMORE - The Michigan Expositor has placed the name of Mr. FILLMORE at the head of its columns as a candidate for the Presidency, subject to the decision of the Whig National Convention. ** TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT - TWO MEN KILLED The passenger train, with about one hundred passengers on board, which left this city yesterday (Sunday) at 12 o'clock, for Albany, was met at 1 o'clock one and a half miles this side of Herkimer, but a heavy freight train, at a curve where they could not see each other forty rods apart, and a powerful collision took place. Mr. James WELCH, a moulder employed at Higham & Co.'s Vulcan Works, in this city, was killed. He has left a wife and four children. His wife, upon being informed of the death of her husband was seized with fits, which continued in succession some hours. Mr. Wm SMITH, of Herkimer, was also killed. He leaves a wife and one child. A Mr. BENNETT, of Albany, had his thigh bone broken and driven into his body. It is deemed impossible for him to survive. Several others were injured, legs broken, &c. The postmaster and express agent, who occupy the car next to the passenger cars, taking the few seconds warning given by the reversing of the engines, leaped through the windows, breaking sash and glass — and thereby saving themselves from being literally bruised to atoms. The first passenger car was started from its track by the force of the concussion, and slid two thirds of its length into the express and mail car, the roof of which cut the top of the passenger car off, through the windows, just over the heads of the passengers, none of which were injured. One man threw his wife and child out of a passenger car window, without injury to them. Those killed and badly hurt, it is said, were on the engine, or standing on the car platforms. Both engines and tenders, and the baggage and mail-cars were demolished, and the other cars in both trains more or less injured. The cause of the accident is said to rest upon the Conductor and Engineer, who disregarded their running time. They should have remained at Herkimer until the down train arrived there. The track was cleared of the ruins, and the disabled cars in three or four hours, so that the night trains were not detained in their passage.-- Utica herald. ** MARRIAGES In Albion, on Tuesday, the 25th inst., by the Rev. J. N. MURDOCK, Joseph M. CORNELL, Merchant, of the firm of Swan & Cornell, to Jane M. COLE, lately an accomplished and popular teacher in Phipps Union Seminary, all of that village.
