7 JANUARY 9, 1886 GRASS VALLEY UNION
SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1886
The Terry—Hill Nuptials.
The marriage of Judge Terry and Sarah Althea Hill may well be called a “celebrated case,” and
as each have largely occupied public attention during the past year, their assumption of the marriage
relation furnishes an item of news that will be read with interest. The S. F. Post has a special
telegram from Stockton on the 7th which gave the following particulars;
Judge Terry and Sarah Althea Hill were married in the parsonage of the Catholic Church
shortly before ten o'clock this morning. Miss Hill arrived on the steamer T. C. Walker about
three o'clock this morning, and remained on board until 9:20, when she left in company
with State Treasurer Oullahan, who came here to act as best man and superintend the
minor details of the wedding. The morning was extremely cold and foggy, and Miss Hill
HURRIED WITH THE STATE TREASURER
To a hack on the wharf, in which Judge Terry was waiting. Terry was dressed plainly in
his everyday suit, and Miss Hill was arrayed in an equally plain dark woolen dress with a
dark shawl drawn closely about her shoulders. Treasurer Oullahan was the showiest man in
the party, with a glistening beaver, broadcloth suit, white tie and a face wreathed in smiles.
The party drove rapidly to the parsonage parlors, where Paul W. Bennett, a partner in the
firm of Terry, Campbell & Bennett, was in waiting. The Post reporter asked permission to
attend the wedding, but Judge Terry firmly refused, although not disposed to display any
bad temper over the request.
THE CEREMONY.
With no other female present, Miss Hill appeared before Father O’Connor, pastor of
St. Mary’s, and Judge Terry presented the marriage license, which gives his age at sixty
two and Miss Hill’s at thirty-two. The license gives the bride’s name as Sarah Althea Hill
Sharon. The ceremony was performed quickly, aud the bridal party then drove to Judge
Terry’s residence in the northern part of the city. The residence has been occupied by
Clintou Terry, the Judge’s only living son, and his family, but the Judge, in view of his own
approaching marriage, recently purchasing for Clinton a large farm in Fresno county, where
Clinton’s family will reside.
A CHAGRINED SON.
Clinton was not present at the wedding, aud is reported to be extremely chagrined at
his father’s matrimonial venture, saying recently that his father should have shown more
respect for the memory of the deceased Mrs. Terry. The Judge does not seem to feel that
he has taken any risky step, and last night and this morning he has been, according to the
report of intimate friends, in the highest condition of felicitous self-congratulation.
THE WEDDING BREAKFAST.
At the residence of the Judge a wedding breakfast was served, after which the Judge went
direct to the Superior Court, where he is engaged in the trial of a case, and Mrs. Terry was
left to enter alone upon her household duties.
