Honeoye, N. Y. - A wedding anniversary was held at the residence of Mr. Daniel Short on Wednesday evening, the 2d inst. Daniel Short, Jr. and Persis Doolittle were married by Rev. Caleb Briggs at the house of the bride's father (Dr. Doolittle) Oct. 30, 1851; this anniversary being therefore, the thirtieth anniversary of their marriage. Nearly one hundred and twenty guests were present from Richmond and some of the neighboring towns. In one of the rooms there quietly accumulated a group of presents, appropriate to thirtieth-anniversary weddings. The company was a genial, animated one, and "bright the lamps shone on fair women and brave men." About the middle of the evening more formal exercises were in order. An appropriate and beautiful poem was impressively recited by Mrs. George Ashley, and a brief address was made by Rev. S. M. Day. In it reference was made to local and personal and family associations, not only of thirty, but also of sixty-five years ago. In March, 1817, the speaker's father, (Rev Warren Dey), united in marriage in marriage Daniel Short, Sr. and Mary Doolittle. In March, 1867, occurred their golden wedding, at which the son of the officiating minister of fifty years before, took part in the services of the occasion. And again, at this third wedding festival, the family associations appeared side by side.
