The TALES you probably never heard about

CHARLES ADAMS-LOTTIE SHERK

[Welland Tribune, 3 January 1908]

Another very happy event took place at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Sherk of Humberstone, on Christmas day, when friends and relatives to about sixty in number assembled to witness in marriage of their daughter Lottie (twin sister of Mina, who was married to Mr. Charles Chambers two months ago) to Charles Adams of Bertie, son of Capt. Adams of Point Abino, at 12 o’clock noon. As the wedding march was played by Mrs. Chambers, the bridal party entered the parlor to a beautiful cove in a corner, of holly ferns and white bells. They were led by Rev. Mr. Sanderson, followed by groom and groomsman, Joseph Adams, brother of groom, the bride following, leaning on the arm of her father. She was charming in a beautiful dress of white silk mull, and carried a bouquet of white roses. The bride was attended by Miss Lilian Babion, who looked sweet in pale blue organdie, carrying pink roses. Little Hazel Adams of Buffalo, in white silk, was a very attractive flower girl.

After the ceremony and congratulations, the guests repaired to the dining-room, which was tastefully decorated with green and white. A large white bell hung over the table, which was spread with all the delicacies one could wish for. The groom’s gift to the bride was a beautiful fur, to the bridesmaid and flower girl a ring. To the groomsman he gave cuff links. The bride’s going away suit was blue broadscloth and hat to match. The presents were numerous and costly, showing the esteem in which the contracting parties were held. They left on the evening train amid showers of rice and good wishes, for Hamilton, thence to New York and other eastern cities.
