Married:
- Attached is a newspaper photo of Winona A. Sprague (I249301)and her 2nd husband Dr. Blinn A. Harris. It is not of great quality, but you can decide if you want to post it.
It came from a scrap book of newspaper articles on file with the Chenango County Historian's Office. The paper was dated 1901. Along with the photo was the following newspaper article regarding the wedding. I had found their marriage date of June 2, 1901 in other records, but it appears by this article that since June 14, 1901 was a Thursday, that the wedding day on the previous Sunday would have been June 10th, 1901.
