Butler-Beal
A pretty wedding took
place at 32 Myrtle Street,
St. Thomas, the home of the bride's
brother, at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, when Miss Minnie
Irene Beal of Wellington Street, St. Thomas, and Harry Charles
Butler, a member of the staff of The Reformer, were married. The
ceremony was read by Rev. J. J. Eddy of Brantford, in the presence
of about 60 guests.
The bride, who looked
handsome in a gown of pearl grey silk with crystal trimmings, were
given away by her father. Her bouquet was of cream roses and lilies
of the valley. Miss Muriel Wimbush made a charming ring bearer. Mr.
P. G. Marshall of Simcoe, played the wedding march. The decorations
were gladioli and asters, the canopy under which the wedding party
stood being especially beautiful.
Many handsome gifts were
bestowed upon the bride, testifying to her popularity. Her former
associates in the Bell Telephone office, where she was chief
operator, presented her with a quarter-cut oak Morris chair,
upholstered in leather, as a token of their regard for her. The
groom's gift to the bride was a heart-shaped pin set with pearls and
emeralds; to the ring-bearer, a gold ring and to the pianist gold
cuff-links.
Following the reception and
the wedding breakfast,
Mr. and Mrs. Butler left for a trip to Toronto and
Niagara Falls. Upon their return they will make their home in
Simcoe.
