WEDDING/OBITUARY
A Wedding - A Funeral
On Thursday of last week a number of friends were assembled at the residence of Mr Daniel Arbuckle, near Cherry Hill, to witness a wedding and to offer hearty congratulations. The occasion was the marriage of his daughter, Miss Ella, a young and beautiful lady well and popularly known in this vicinity, to Mr John R Chapman, a gentleman formerly of Cherry Hill and a native of this county. On Friday evening a reception was held at the residence of the groom’s father, and joyful congratulations were the event of the evening. On Saturday morning the young bride was taken ill, and, notwithstanding every effort made for her relief, she grew rapidly worse and died the same night. She had been suffering from severe kidney affection for some months. Her funeral took place last Wednesday from the residence of her father, and her remains were interred in Cherry Hill cemetary.360 (Cherry Hill UMC is located at N39° 39.803’, W75° 51.068’, elev 272 ft)

A Distressing Death.
 On Thursday, the 21st inst., Mr. John R. Chapman, a young man and former resident of this town, now of Virginia, and Miss Ella M. Arbuckle, daughter of Daniel A. Arbuckle, Esq., were married, at the residence of the bride’s parents, in the Fourth district. The bride, who was only twenty years of age, was never physically strong and for some time past has been unusually unwell, though not apparently ill enough to arouse solicitude among her friends. The wedding passed off merrily, many friends being present to offer congratulations and to wish the newly married couple a long and happy married life.-Alas! How often our fondest hopes are doomed to bitter disappointment, and how little we dream of what is in store for us in the future. In this case, the fair young bride, instead of having before her a long and happy life with the husband of her choice, was doomed, within fifty-six hours, to a second bridal, this time with the grim and frightful groomsman-death. Illness seemed to grow upon her from the hour of her marriage, and she rapidly exhibited symptoms of an alarming character until Sunday morning, only thirty-six hours from the time of her marriage, she passed away. Arrangements had been made for her to accompany her husband to Alexandria, Va., on Wednesday last, but, instead her lifeless remains were, upon that day, followed to the grave by her grief stricken husband and parents, accompanied by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and acquaintances. The cause of death in this case seems to be somewhat in doubt. Some physicians ascribe it to an affection of the heart, while others charge it to Bright’s disease, the majority, so far as numbers are concerned, charging it to the latter.375
