Most Happily Married.
Miss Mary Tracy and Mr, James Furlong were most happily married Tuesday morning.
Nature was attuned to holiest sym phonies, a benign sun tempered the cool of the coming day; the birds carol ed merrily, and all things bespoke a bright and happy future for the contracting parties.
The Catholic church was filled with their friends when the bridal party entered, at 7o'clock. The bride and groom was proceeded by Miss Nellie Tracy, of Sandusky, as bridesmaid, and Jas. M. Lynch, of this place, as the groom's bestman. Rev. Fr. Rupert read the beautiful Catholic wedding Service and pronounced them husband and wife. The bride was attired in cream albatross, trimmed in white ??? ribbon, white kid slipper, and carried brldal roses.
The party then drove to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ellen Tracy, on Harkness street, where a wedding breakfast was served, and a reception held. Mr. and Mrs. Furlong were the recipients of many valuable presents from friends.
Their proposed wedding tour was abandoned on account of the railroad trouble and a trip on the lakes will be taken instead. Upon their return they will go to housekeeping and be at home at their residence on Gardner street The bride and groom have hosts of friends in Bellevue, and their well wishes go with them.
Among the guests present were, Mr. and Mrs. J. T Furlong, of Clyde, Misses Julia and Lizzie Burns of Norwalk, Misses Hattie, Lizzie, Minnie and Ella Esch, Misses Mary Powers, Mary Tracy and Mrs. T. Tracy of Sandusky, Miss Maggie McCarthy, of Ft. Wayne. Ind., Misses Abbie Fitzgerald and Katie Powers of Toledo, Chas. Esch and R.J Fox of Sandusky.

This
is a most interesting site for me. I am delighted to have found it.
I
spent a great deal of my formative youth in the J. Oehm building - up in the
apartment on the right (as seen in the photo) 112 East Main Street. Justice
Oehm, who built the fine ediface, was my great grandfather. My grand father was
Henry Oehm and my mother was Justine Kathrine Oehm - named after her
grandfather.
Anna
M. Oehm, my great Aunt, lived in the apartment on the east side (left in your
photo). She and I (as a very young boy) would play cards in her front room
parlor - right inside that window - on an oval, marble-topped, three- legged
table - which is still in the family. Aunt Anna was a delight. She had never
married although photos of her in her youth show her an exquisite beauty. She
was very thrifty - almost to a fault.
Henry
married Mary Wise my wonderful and sainted grandmother (Nana). She and I were
the best of pals. I would travel on the Nickle Plate RR to spend time with her
when I was off from my schooling in Lakewood, Ohio. She would often come east
and have extended visits with my family.
Mary
Wise grew up on a farm south of Bellvue just east of the Sorrowful Mother
Shrine (Franks, Ohio). Her influence on me was vast especially the inspiration
to live on a farm. In ~1962 she moved to Lakewood, Ohio because she was quite bound
up with rhumatism and we could better take care of her. The building remained
in her name until she died in 1971.
My
mother married Charles Louis Tracy -
also from Bellvue. My dad was in the newspaper business and was a pilot in WW2.
He flew in India, as a transport pilot. I have 2 brothers: Michael, 67 years, who lives in San Ygnacio TX, and Christopher, 57 years, who lives in
Chicago. I am Daniel James Tracy, 65
years, and live south of Seattle in Maple Valley, WA. I am retired from Boeing
where I was an aeronautical engineer for 40 years. Michael and I have recently
been wanting to know more about the Oehm family. We have pretty good data on
the Tracys and the Wises. We came to the same question you have: Where did
these Greenslades come from?
Daniel J. Tracy
March 24, 2011 at 8:25 PM
As
a kid I heard all these names often but was unable to place them in any order
although I'm sure I was told. Uncle Louis was Henry's brother - yes, he was the
banker. His daughter, Laurena (would have been my mother's 1st cousin) married
William Greenslade. Greenslade, I guess was a worker in the shoe store.
Remember that Justice was a cobbler and Henry took over the shoe business after
him. The shoe store was below Nana's apartment, I believe. (There was a
confectionary store under Aunt Anna's apt. at that time.) So Greenslade - the
shoe salesman. I'm guessing - must have been noticed by Laurena, got married
and lived (as your research explains) next door to the Louis Oehm's. How
utterly convenient!
I
cannot cast dispersions accuretly so I'll try not - especially here. After
Uncle Louis retired or died, William Greenslade got to running the bank. I
remember visiting their NEW home (I think it was south of town) once with my
mmother. I recall the relationship to be somewhat cool. After all the old Oehms
died, the Greenslades - the bankers - scored pretty well with the realestate. I
know that part to have been sort of a lament. I did not know the Greenslade
people and Grandpa Henry died 15 years before I was born. I believe the Oehm
building was sold by the Greenslades to a guy named Strayer - a somewhat
notorious realestate agent (of all people). His business occupies the area
where my grandfather's shoe store once was. (Out west real estate people are
not held in such great esteme.)
I
visited Bellevue a couple years ago and asked the clerk at Strayer's Realty,
after identifying myself, if I could go upstairs and just walk down the hallway
(it had a distinctive aroma). I was refused. I asked the real estate folks in
that office if they knew where the Justice Oehm building was in Bellevue. They
did not...
I
appreciate your fine research so much. I shall send a link for this site for my
brothers viewing. If there is more information I might be able to offer please
contact me.
thanks
so much!
