From the February 17, 1881 issue of the Port Jervis Evening Gazette:
Wedded at the Church - the Marriage of Miss Kate Early to James Kane Wednesday Evening

James Kane, fireman for engineer John Kinsella, and Miss Kate Early were married at St. Mary's church at half-past six o'clock Wednesday (Feb. 16) evening, the Rev. E.J. Flynn officiating. The attendants were Thomas Lyon and Miss Ella Mackin. The bride wore olive silk trimmed with brocaded satin.

After the wedding, which was witnessed by a large number of spectators, the husband and wife and a large party of friends repaired to the residence of the groom's mother on Fowler street where a reception was given. A fine supper was had. The Rev. E.J. Flynn was present and cut the wedding cake. The evening was passed most pleasantly. On the arrival of Train 8 that evening the couple took the train for New York, Washington and other points east and south, and will be gone about a week. The Gazette extends its congratulations to the happy pair.
