BROWN-DELL WEDDING
[Welland Tribune, 12 August 1898]
A very pretty wedding took place at Montrose on Wednesday the 3rd of August at 3.30 p.m. when Miss Minnie Dell, the fourth daughter of Mr. James S. Dell, and Mr. J. Brown of Willoughby, were married at the residence of the bride’s parents. The Rev. Mr. Smith of Port Robinson officiated and Mrs. Smith played the wedding march. The bride was handsomely attired in a suit of steel gray and cream duchesse satin with pearl trimming and carried a beautiful bouquet of roses and carnations –looking every inch a queenly bride. After the usual congratulations the company sat down to a genuine wedding feast, the table being exquisitely beautiful-all that good taste, a profusion of flowers and wealth of palatable luxuries could make it. Then while trying to dodge the rice and other harmless missiles the bride and groom took a train for Toronto for a few days’ sojourn. Among the friends from a distance were Mr. Oliver Austin and Mrs. Richard Smith of Simcoe, uncle and aunt of the bride. The presents to the bride were quite numerous and costly in their various lines. Following is a list: -Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Dell a set of dishes; Mr. and Mrs. O. Austin a dressing case; Mrs. R. Smith a set of silver tea spoons; Miss May Austin a silver butter knife; Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Anger, a set of silver tablespoons, Mrs. Geo. Werrett a table cloth; Mr. and Mrs. O.E. Dell a parlor lamp; Mr. and Mrs. Robert McClive a silver pickle cruet; Miss Birdie Dell an easel; Mrs. Edwin Brown a rocking chair, Miss Alice Brown a centre table, Miss Maggie Brown bedroom crockery, Mr. J. Brown a glass cake dish, Mrs. J. Brown a table cloth, Miss Mary Jane Brown a glass set; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harvey a china pin tray, Miss Nellie Brown a glass fruit dish; Mrs. A. Welstead glass set; Miss Lilla Welstead a china cheese dish; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Montagne a glass fruit dish, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dell a set of glass fruit dishes, bread board and knife; Mrs. L.J. Potts a centre piece, Mrs.(Rev) Smith a glass bread plate, Miss Libbie Dell a china salad dish.-COM
