WALTER VICTOR SMITH MARRIED AT ST. PATRICK’S
Hamilton Herald, Oct. 13, 1897
[Welland Tribune, 15 October 1897]
Several hundred women and a score of men assembled at St. Patrick’s church this morning to witness the marriage of Miss Julia Cox, daughter of Mrs. James Cox, King William street, to Walter V. Smith, the popular deputy sheriff of Welland. Chancellor Craven officiated, and during the interesting ceremony there were vocal solos by Miss Tessie Stuart, Miss Hanley and James Cox, brother of the bride. The bride looked just as charming as a bride is supposed to look under the circumstances, and she was beautifully gowned in white silk, trimmed with gauze and chiffon, wore a picture hat and carried a bouquet of white roses.
Her sister, Miss Millie Cox, was bridesmaid and she was gowned in blue silk, wore a black velvet picture hat and carried pink roses. H.W. McCoomb of Welland was groomsman. The groom’s gift to the bride was a gold watch and chain, to the bridesmaid a gold ring set with emeralds and pearls, and to the groomsman a silver coat hanger.
The ceremony took place at 9.30, after which there was a wedding breakfast, served by Caterer Knapman, at Mrs. Cox’x home on King William street. The outside guests were from Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Welland.
The presents were numerous and handsome, including many rich pieces of silverware, cutlery, chairs and other articles.
The young women associates of Miss Cox presented her with a large onyx clock.
