DR. WHYBRA
[Welland Tribune, 28 May 1897]
When Dr. Whybra and his bride returned from their wedding trip, the boys met them on the highway with a loaded glass revolver and demanded sufficient coin to buy the health of the bride and groom. “Doc,” smiled and drove on, but the carriage had halted long enough for some wag to attach a pair of long rubber boots (in lieu of the proverbial slippers) to the axle. The happy couple enjoyed the joke as much as anybody, and when the Lafayette was reached the boys found that refreshments had been ordered for them Mr. and Mrs. Whybra will reside at Stevensville, where the doctor has a good veterinary practice. The TRIBUNE joins in the congratulations being extended.
