The TALES you probably never heard about

HODGKINS-CLARKSON

[Welland Tribune, 9 July 1897]

Another home in Crowland was the scene of mirth when Miss Josephine Clarkson, at her father’s residence, on Jubilee day, was married to Mr. Gideon Hodgkins of Wellandport. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Fred Kay, B.A. of Port Robinson. The bridesmaid was Miss Maggie Hixon and Mr. Beamer of Wellandport acted as groomsman. There about forty persons present to witness the ceremony and offer their best wishes and “much joy”. The bridal couple started immediately for their new home in Wellandport, where they expect to reside. Mrs. Hodgkins will be greatly missed in the church of which she was a member at Port Robinson, where she held the position of organist for a number of years. In home and church associations we bespeak for the newly married couple all happiness and success.
