Chislett-Stoffel
A very pleasant event took
place at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Barney Stoffel at
Bloomsburg on Wednesday, 14 Sep 1910, when their eldest daughter,
Nellie May, was united in marriage to George Chislett
of
Boston.
Promptly at noon, to the
strains of the wedding march, beautifully rendered by Miss Clara
Collver, the bridal party took their places on the porch, under an
arch of evergreens and white asters.
The bride was given away
by her father and looked handsome in a white princess gown trimmed
with valenciennes lace and insertion. She carried a bouquet
of
bridal roses and maiden-hair ferns. The marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Elliott of Waterford, in the presence of
about 60 relatives and friends.
After congratulations had
been extended to the happy couple, a sumptuous repast was served
on the lawn. This was followed by the photographing of the whole
company by J. H. Butler of Simcoe. During the afternoon
several musical selections was rendered by Miss Elma Hobson of
Hamilton, cousin of the groom.
The bride was the
recipient of many beautiful and useful presents, showing the high
esteem in which the young couple are held. The groom's gift to the
bride was a gold sunburst set with pearls and to the pianist, a
gold broach set with brilliants.
The going-away gown was
green cloth, with a white picture-hat. Mr. and Mrs. Chislett, amid
showers of rice and confetti, left on the 4.50 train for London
and points west to spend a short pleasure trip.
