8 Oct 1897 - Miss Margaret Vanderpoel, daughter of the late Aaron J. Vanderpoel, was married to Waldo Newcomer, of Baltimore, yesterday at Kinderhook, N.Y. The ceremony took place at Sparren-Roede, a colonial mansion built by a granduncle of the bride's mother some years before the Revolution. The old-fashioned house was beautifully decorated with palms, smilax, and chrysanthemums. The spacious hall, extending through the mansion, was made attractive with huge branches of pine and festoons of autumn leaves. The bridal procession passed through the hall as up the aisle of a church.
The bride was escorted by her brother, Augustus H. Vanderpoel, of this city. The best man was Freeland B. Gardner of Georgetown, S.C. The maid of honor was a niece of the bride, Miss Edith Vanderpoel Franklin, of Orange, N.J. The ushers were Eustace Conway, of New York, and Frank N. Maslin, of Baltimore. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. James W. Smith, assisted by the Rev. E.S. de G. Tompkins, both of Kinderhook. The bride's costume was white brocaded satin, trimmed with Point d'Alencon lace, which was worn by her mother at her wedding a half century ago. The bridal veil, of tulle, was fastened with rosebuds. The only ornament worn by the bride was a magnificent sunburst, a gift of the bridegroom. She carried a bouquet of white roses and orchids.
