The TALES you probably never heard about

WAIT-CUTHERBERTSON

[Welland Tribune, 12 March 1897]

In Queensville, on Wednesday, March 3re, there was a very pleasant gathering at the residence of Oliver Cuthbertson, to witness the marriage of his sister, Miss Nellie Cuthbertson, to Albion T. Wait, of Black Creek, Ont. The ceremony was performed by the pastor of the Presbyterian church, R.J. Sturgeon, B.A. Only a few of the relatives and personal friends of the bride were present.

Mrs. Wait is the youngest daughter of the late John Cuthbertson, at one time merchant in our village, and granddaughter of Rev. Samuel Cuthbertson of the Presbyterian church in Ireland, both of whom are now deceased.

At half-past two the minister pronounced them husband and wife, after which all repaired to the dining room and partook of the many delicacies prepared by skilful hands. The time seemed to slip away all too fast, as the guests expressed their good will by little speeches tinged with regard and kindliness. Amid laughter, good wishes and regret veiled by mirth, the happy couple departed on their trip to Toronto and the west. The presents were numerous and elegant.

Should Mr. and Mrs. Wait conclude to settle in Queensville, they can be rest assured of a cordial welcome.
