  • Popular Lakeport Couple Married at Napa
    Word has reached Lakeport that Miss Lillie B. TINKER, the only daughter of the late Mr. And Mrs. Alden A. Tinker, became the bride last Saturday at Napa of Robert ABERCROMBIE. The marriage had been planned to take place about Christmas time but was postponed on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Tinker, the bride's mother.
    Details are lacking but it is presumed the Joseph Tinker, brother of the bride, witnessed the ceremony. All three young people were passengers from Lakeport on the Calistoga stage Saturday morning.
    Mrs. Abercrombie is an accomplished young woman and gave up teaching school to accept a government position during the war.
    Mr. Abercrombie is the second son of Mr. And Mrs. S. D. Abercrombie of Lakeport and well known here where he was raised. He holds a good position at Crockett where the young people will reside.

  • In San Francisco, Cal, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hendricks, 726 Dubose ave., on August 26, 1911, by Rev. H. W. Chapman, Miss Vina HENDRICKS, of that city, and Mr. O. T. BOARDMAN, of Maunawi, Hawaii.

    To many of Miss Hendrick's friends the news of her marriage will come as a surprise, though many of her most intimate friends have known for some time of the approaching nuptials, but we know all will join in sincere good wishes to bothe the bride and groom. Miss Vina was a teacher in our grammar school for 16 or 17 years and was dearly loved by every pupil who passed through her room. She also taught a class in Sunday school for years, and endeared herself to the young people. Mr. Boardman was also a teacher here in 1901-2, and is well-known and highly respected. He went to the Hawaiian Islands some years ago, where he has since resided. He arrived in San Francisco last Tuesday on the steamship Honolula, and following the marriage ceremony, the happy couple took passage on the same steamer for their future home.The Clear Lake Press, September 02, 1911

  • CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
    An event of more than usual interest took place at Upper Lake last Monday August 9th when the members of the Bucknell family gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bucknell to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Sixteen persons were present, all members of the immediate family except one aunt, Mrs. John Alley, who was married the same day Mr. and Mrs. Bucknell were, but whose husband is dead. Mr. and Mrs. Alley were married in Gravelly Valley early in the morning and after the ceremony drove to Upper Lake to attend the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Bucknell.
    The five Bucknell children furnished the dinner of turkey, chicken, cakes, etc., and Roy Bucknell, the youngest child, sat between his father and mother with one of his two children on either side of him. At the close of the meal Roy arose and read a short poem appropriate to the occasion, after which his children in turn presented their grandfather and grandmother each $50 in gold on a gold rimmed plate, at the same time reciting a short verse. The afternoon was spent on the lawn where ice cream was served. One interesting fact about the Bucknell family is that there has never been a death in it to mar the happiness of its members. While the day will never be repeated it will always be remembered and cherished by those present.

  • NORTON - PINER Wedding
    November 5, 1893

    Last Saturday, at the residence of C. A. Piner at Kelseyville, Mr. Frank J. NORTON, of Yolo County, and Miss Rosa PINER, one of the most popular of the young ladies of Lake County, were united in the bonds of matrimony. About 60 friends and relatives witnessed the ceremony, performed by Rev. Bruton, and partook of a splendid dinner. The bride was dressed in cream India silk, and looked more than usually charming, and every young man present envied the groom in his good fortune; more especially, as her beauty, though not often equaled, is the least of her charms. The ceremony took place at 11 o'clock, then followed congratulations and then the dinner. The afternoon was spent in social conversation and at 3 o'clock the newly wedded couple took their departure for Lower Lake, en route to their home in Yolo County. This ended the pleasures of the day, for it was a sad parting. Mr. and Mrs. Piner, especially, were nearly heart-broken, for this was their last and youngest child. Nor were they alone in their sorrow; when a turn in the road hid the departing carriage from view, few dry eyes were to be found. The AVALANCHE congratulates Mr. Norton, who, while robbing Lake County of one of its fairest daughters, has won a wife worthy of any man on earth. God bless them both.

  • County Clerk Sayre was sweetly dreaming of experts and grand juries between 1 and 2 o'clock Wednesday night when he was rudely awakened by a loud knocking on the front door of his residence. Hurriedly dressing himself and opening the door he was confronted by two anxious young people and a sheet of foolscap paper. Investigation proved the paper to be a marriage contract between James H. PRICE, aged 24, and Susie A. PINER, aged 16, all of Kelseyville, Lake County, California. The ever-affable and gallant County Clerk quickly complied with their wishes by taking their acknowledgements to the document and they disappeared in the stilly night, after depositing the usual fee. An irate parent appeared upon the scene soon after sunrise Wednesday morning, but the contractors were not to be found.

  • After a double wedding both couples returned to Upper Lake. Miss Lake is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Lake of Upper Lake. The groom is the son of J. M. Sleeper, a pioneer resident of Upper Lake. Miss Spencer is the daughter of Mrs. Rose McCullough of Middlecreek, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Steckter of Upper Lake. All four young people were raised in this part of the county. The girls are both attending U. L. U. H. school and the boys are partners in the new meat market of Sleeper & Steckter. The young people of the community gave them a rousing charivari Monday night after which all came down to I. O. O. F. hall and danced until 12 o.clock. But neither Mrs. Sleeper nor Mrs. Steckter was late for school Tuesday morning.   Lake County Bee, 11 November 1920
