    2. Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Dec. 30, 1891 WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS MONROE Marriage of Two Prominent Young People of Fairport The residence of Mrs. D. B. DeLAND, of Fairport, was the scene yesterday morning of a most interesting event, the marriage of her second daughter, Miss Minnie DeLAND, to J. J. BENNETT, M. D., of that place. The ceremony was performed by the bride's pastor, Rev. H. H. HUNT, assisted by Rev. G. F. WATERS, pastor of the groom. The high social position of the bride, a daughter of one of the leading families, accomplished and esteemed by a very large circle, gives a special interest to the occasion of her union with a talented young physician who recently located in that village. About seventy-five guests were present from Rochester, Syracuse, Victor, Walworth, Ovid and other places. There were numerous bridal gifts, handsome and costly. The wedding breakfast was served by Teall, of Rochester. Amid expressions of affectionate wishes the young couple left for a brief wedding trip. Upon their return they will occupy the fine residence on Main street recently purchased by Dr. BENNETT and fitted up expressly to receive his bride. -John CARSON, of Scottsville, who has been quite ill for several days, is reported as improving. -John ALEXANDER, one of Scottsville's prominent colored citizens, left that village yesterday for a visit to his old home in Virginia. -Rev. and Mrs. Edward BRISTOL, of the Presbyterian Church at Scottsville, will be "at home" to the children of the Sunday-school to-morrow afternoon from 2 until 5 o'clock. -The next meeting of the Greece Sunday-school Association will be held at the Baptist Church next Sunday evening. Louis HAAS, state missionary, will be present and take part in the exercises. -The funeral of the late Malcom McVEAN, of Scottsville, was largely attended from the Church of the Assumption, Rev. Father LAMBERT officiating. The following named acted as bearers: William and Thomas RAFFERTY, Theodore KRANZER, P. ROSAITER, M. GRENEGAL, P. HARMON. -The funeral of Peter J. COYLE, of Fairport, a sketch of whose twenty-three years' service in the United States navy and army appeared in the Democrat and Chronicle last August, was held at the Catholic church in that village yesterday morning. A large number of G. A. R. veterans were present and a committee of these, detailed for the purpose, accompanied as bearers the remains to the cemetery of the Holy Sepulchre, in Greece, where the burial took place. Mr. COYLE was about 77 years of age and leaves no family. -The store of Woodward & Keefe, at Mumford, was broken into Monday night by burglars, who effected an entrance by prying the double doors apart. They strewed the large stock of shoes and clothing all in heaps on the floor. They took some underclothes and shoes, and left two pairs of shoes partly worn out in the store in place of the new one worn off by them. The safe, which is always left unlocked, had been opened and all the drawers and boxes turned upside down. No money was in the safe. There is no clue to the burglars, but it looked like the work of the same gang that broke into Harvey's about three weeks ago. -The large attendance at the farmers' institute at Fairport yesterday at all the sessions, was a pleasant surprise to the people themselves, as well as to the members of the State Agricultural Society present. The addresses were all pertinent, practical and instructive, and the discussions also interesting and profitable. In the evening Miss FASSETT gave a fine recitation, then came Mr. REYNOLD'S able address on "What to Sell." The institute, conducted by Hon. G. T. POWELL, proved an important success in its bearings on agricultural matters. S. P. HOWARD, a prominent agriculturist of Fairport, presided, and the institute was welcomed by A. Worth PALMER, of that town, who believes boys and girls to be the farmers' best crop. **** LIVINGSTON -Burglars are at work in Livonia. Monday night the store of Eldridge & Co. Was entered, but only a few cents in money was taken. The postoffice was also entered. Here the burglars gained entrance through the cellar, but found only a few cents' worth of stamps and a few cents in money. Livonia has a night watchman who has been hired to guard the stores, and he has been on duty a little over a week. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS
