The TALES you probably never heard about

HAMILTON-DAWSON

(From the Peterboro Examiner, April 20th)

[Welland Tribune, 23 April 1897]

A very interesting event took place this afternoon, it being the occasion of the marriage of Robert Logan Hamilton, M.E., of Welland, to Miss Annie Dawson, daughter of Thos. Dawson, 72 Bonaccord street. The house was elaborately decorated with plants and looked very pretty in its floral beauty.

At 2 o’clock the bride entered the parlor on the arm of her father, where the groom was in waiting, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. Vicars Stevenson of St. John’s, Anglican church. The bride was attired in a becoming dress of Swiss muslin with chiffon and ribbon trimmings and carried a shower bouquet of white roses, and was attended by Miss Ethel Dawson, who was prettily gowned in an organdy muslin with lace and ribbon trimmings and also carried a pretty shower bouquet of cream roses. The groom was ably supported by Thos. G. Anderson of town. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining-room where a sumptuous dejeuner was partaken of. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and costly presents from England and many other distant points. The happy couple left by the C.P.R., 4.48 express for Toronto, on route for Welland, accompanied by the well wishes of a host of friends.
