Sibley - Campbell

At six o'clock last evening, at the bride's home on Hazen street, occurred the marriage of Miss Maggie Campbell, daughter of the late Rev. John Campbell, of Markham, Canada West, to Herbert D. Sibley, of Randolph, N.Y., and a member of the last graduating class of Cornell University. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Charles Babcock of the University. The happy couple departed on the 9:35 P.M. train for a brief sojourn at the residence of Mr. Sibley's parents at Randolph, N.Y. They are expected to return to Ithaca on Wednesday next and will remain in town during the season.
