The Thirtieth Wedding Anniversary for Daniel and Persis Short

From the Ontario County Times, 9 November 1881

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 Day), united 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.

The Obituary of Daniel Short IV

16 August 1823 - 23 May 1905

From Canandaigua Chronicle, 31 May 1905

Honeoye, N. Y. - Daniel Short, one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed away at his home Tuesday evening, May 23, after a short illness.

Mr. Short was born in the town of Richmond, Aug. 16, 1823, and has lived the greater part of his life on his farm west of Honeoye. He was married to Miss Persis E. Doolittle, October 10, 1851, and five children were born to them, two of whom passed away in early childhood. Mr. Short was one of a large family, all of whom are deceased except one brother, Spencer D. Short of this place. Besides his brother he leaves three children, Louis Daniel Short of Rochester; Mary Doolittle Short and Willard Scott Short, of this place.

The funeral was held at the house Friday afternoon, Rev. Burr, of Groton, assisted by Rev. S. Mills Day, officiating. A very impressive part of the ceremony was the singing of the songs, “Rock of Ages” and “Abide With Me” by Asa Doolittle of Brockport. The interment was in the family lot in Lake View cemetery.

21 October 1830 - 17 May 1890

From Ontario County Journal, 30 May 1890

Mrs. Daniel Short, of Honeoye, departed this life, May 17th, in the 60th year of her age, in this event a well-rounded, well-spent earthly life was brought to a close. In the relations of daughter, sister, wife and mother, their responsibilities had been faithfully and affectionately fulfilled.

She leaves a husband, two sons and a daughter, a wide circle of kindred and connections, and still wider circle of personal friends to kindly cherish her memory. The funeral was held May 20th, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by the pastor of the Congregational church, Honeoye; the burial was at Lake View Cemetery.
