The TALES you probably never heard about

A HONEYMOON RUNAWAY

[Welland Telegraph, 13 November 1891]

A happy bridal couple met with a mishap on East Main street on Wednesday evening, that narrowly escaped serious consequences, Mr. E. Learn, of Sherkston, and Miss L. Gainer, of Thorold township, had during the day sworn eternal constancy in the form prescribed by civil and ecclesiastical law, and at the time of the accident were on the honeymoon trip towards Sherkston, when the spirited horses behind which they were riding took fright at some object in the road. The blushing and frightened bride jumped out, while the groom hung on like grim death and succeeded in quieting his horses after they had made a bad mess of the buggy. Borrowing another buggy from Sheriff Smith, the inseparable couple proceeded their way rejoicing.
