An
Interesting Wedding
A wedding
of undoubted interest to our townspeople took place on Tuesday at the
residence of Mr. Jas. T. Chadwick. The last of his fair daughters Miss
Jean Logan Chadwick was united in marriage to Mr. Ernest Hamilton Jackson,
one of Simcoe's most enterprising young merchants. At the appointed
hour numerous guest assembled to witness the happy event.
The bride
entered the crowded drawing room leaning on the arm of her father. Her
dress was of the daintiest of mauve silks prettily trimmed with creamy
lace. She was attended by Miss Mabel Livingstone tastefully gowned
in white and carrying a bunch of pink-roses.
The groom
was assisted by Mr. Frank Stevenson, a well-known Simconian.
The Rev.
W. J. Dey, pastor of St. Paul's church, tied the knot which made the happy
couple "one."
After the ceremony and many congratulations the bridal party and guests
betook themselves to well-spread tables. Mr. C. E. Chadwick, of
Ingersoll, made an eloquent speech, ending with a toast to bride and
groom, which was responded to by the groom. Other toasts were
proposed and responded to by Rev. W. J. Day, the parents of the bride and
groom, and also by our esteemed citizen Dr. Hayes.
The bride
then appeared in a becoming suit of fawn and brown, and amid showers of
rice and good wishes the bridal party left for Waterford from whence they
departed for the east.
Among the
clan gathering were Mrs. J. Black of Montreal, Mr. C. E. Chadwick of
Ingersoll, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Jackson of Tilsonburg, Mrs. Logan of
Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Collver of Windham, Mr. and Mrs. Aiken of Vittoria,
Mr. and Mrs. Will Perry of Oregon, U.S., Dr. and Mrs. Hayes and other town
guests.
The
bride's presents were numerous and beautiful and useful.
A party of
young men from Simcoe, taking the short road to Waterford, arrived there
before the bridal party, and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Jackson were blown away
and the chorus of horns, clouds of smoke and tongues of flame.
