WEDDING BELLS:

FLEMMING - ROBERTSON

A very pretty weeding took place at the Catholic Church at Richmond County,
Cape Breton, Monday, July 10th, when at 7 a.m. Rev. R. L. McDONALD united in
marriage Annie May ROBERTSON, eldest daughter of John J. and Mrs. ROBERTSON,
and Vincent FLEMMING, son of John and Mrs. J. FLEMMING, of St. Vincent,
Newfoundland. The bride looked very charming in a tailor made blue suit
with hat and veil to match. She was attended by Miss Nellie STONE, the
bridesmaid, and Mr. George ROBERTSON, brother of the bride, acted as
groomsman. Miss Clara BISSETT, friend of the bride, rendered the Wedding
March. At the reception held in the evening at the residence of the bride's
parents, the bride wore a very pretty grey canton crepe dress, with shoes
and stockings to match. Over one hundred and forty friends had the
opportunity to extend good wishes and congratulations. The gifts were
numerous and useful, including check, linen, glass-ware, silver. The
groom's gift to the bride was a gold watch; to the bridesmaid, a necklace;
and to the groom's man, gold cuff links. After spending a few days at the
home of the bride, they will leave for Boston where they will make their
future home.


ELLIS - BARTLETT

A quite but very pretty wedding took place on Wednesday, August 2nd, at
Carbonear, the contracting parties being Miss Eleanor, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert J. BARTLETT, Hamilton St., and Mr. Chas A. ELLIS, Jr., son of
Chas. Archer ELLIS, Esq., Gower Street, the Rev. W. B. BUGDEN officiating.
The bride looked charming in a dress of Navy and Henna Canto Crepe with hat
to match and white carnations and asparagus fern.
The bridesmaid, Miss Edith (Dot) ROONEY, was beautifully dressed in rose
Crepe-de-Chene with black hat and carried a bouquet of Rose Sweet Peas and
Maiden hair Fern, whilst the groom was supported by Mr. Walter L. VEY.
Following, a very pleasant reception was held at the Parsonage, concluding
with the usual toasts, the party later motoring to the station and joining
the evening train for Bay Roberts, where the honeymoon is being spent.
The groom's present to the bride was a purse of gold, to the bridesmaid, a
gold signet ring, and to the best man; gold initialed cuff links.
Mr. and Mrs. ELLIS will remain in St. John's for about a fortnight before
leaving for Montreal, where they will in future reside. The presents
received were many and valuable including several pieces of gold.


We hope this helps someone,
Chris and John
