ERNEST WILLIAM BARRON AND ADELAIDE MARTHA GAMAGE
WEDDING BELLS
[Welland Telegraph, 28 January 1908]
The first wedding took place in the Baptist Church on Saturday afternoon, when the Rev. George Robertson, pastor of the Church, tied in the holy bonds of matrimony Ernest William Barron of the Dilworth Drug Company, and Miss Adelaide Martha Gamage. A large number of spectators witnessed the happy event. This being the first wedding held in the church, the pastor, on behalf of the congregation, presented the newly wedding couple with a family Bible. The bride was becomingly attired in a dress of grey cloth and wore a hat to match. The groom’s gift to the bride was a gold locket and pendant. One of the dainties of the wedding feast was a plum pudding sent from England by the groom’s mother. Mr. and Mrs. Barron have taken up their residence on Randolph Street. They are estimable and highly respected young people who have many good wishes for a long and happy married life. The Telegraph offers congratulations.
Thanks for publishing this. It’s information I hadn’t had previously about my grandparents.
Thank you Marcia, Hopefully we can help a lot of people searching for their story.
