Yesterday afternoon in Trinity Church was solemnized the marriage of
Mildred Louise Jackson, eldest daughter of the late G. Bruce Jackson,
Barrister-at-law, and grand-daughter of the late Thomas W. Walsh, to
Francis Wayland Bain, of the Traders Bank, Tilsonburg.
The church was artistically decorated with flowers,
handsome palms and a profusion of vines.
On the stroke of three the bridal party entered
the Church to the measure of the grand old march from Lohengrin.
The bride was attended by her brother, Mr. R. E.
J. Jackson, of Topeka, Kansas, and looked very lovely in a gown of ivory
silk, appliqued in sation roses and softened by flounces of mousseline de
soie. The traditional veil and orange blossoms were worn. The
bride carried a bouquet of white roses and wore an antique rope of pearls,
the gift of her aunt, Mrs. King.
The maid of honor, Miss Constance King Jackson
wore a beautiful gown of pink corded silk and a black velvet picture hat. Her bouquet was of dark crimson roses.
Miss Snider of Hamilton, and Miss Nelles of
Simcoe, the bridesmaids, were gowned in fluffy white organdie over white
silk and wore black velvet picture hats. They carried bouquets of
pink roses. The groom presented the bridesmaids with pearl
hearts.
The groomsman was Mr. J. H. Farmer, Manager of
the Traders Bank, Elmira. And the ushers were Mr. W. Douglas
Livingstone, Tilsonburg, and Mr. William Savage of Guelph.
Mrs. King, the bride's aunt, wore a handsome gown
of black and duchesse satin and a bonnet of pink roses. The organist played softly during the ceremony
which was performed by the rector, the Rev. Rural Dean Hicks, B.D.
The bride and groom received the congratulations
of their immediate friends and relatives at Dean St., the home of the
bride's grandmother, Mrs. Walsh. The gifts were many and beautiful. Among
them was a cabinet grand piano, the gift of the groom.
At five o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Bain took the
express for New York and other cities of the east. Invitations were
sent to friends in Topeka, Los Angeles, Boston, Buffalo, Winnipeg, Fort
Steele, Toronto, Orangeville, St. Catharines, and many places at a
distance.
