A Wedding
Surprise
Residents of Waterford had a
real surprise last Wednesday night when they learned of the marriage
of Rev. J. B. Moore of this place and
Mrs. Jennie Gray of Hamilton.
Even the officiating
minister, Rev. J. D. MacLachlan, B.A., received the surprise of his
life. He was asked by the Elder to come to the latter's home to
assist at a wedding. The Elder escorted the bride into the room and
asked Rev. J. D. to go ahead.
A bible class social was
being held at the home of Mr. Bert Stanford that evening, and when
the news spread over there, they all took their baskets and
proceeded to the Elder's where a most pleasant social evening was
spent.
On Thursday night about 40
kids presented the Elder with a typical old time charvari. The Elder
presented them with a broom stick first, followed by a generous
donation and he was pronounced by the kids to be the best fellow in
town. About 11 o'clock another bunch held a charavi.
The many friends of the
bride and groom have showered them with congratulations. The bride
is well-known here, having been a resident for several years.
