The TALES you probably never heard about

PEACOCK-SCHOOLEY

[Welland Tribune, 15 October 1897]

A very pleasant event took place at the residence of Joseph Peacock, Rockway, township of Louth, on the 6th, inst., when his eldest daughter Laura A., was united in matrimony to Morley E. Schooley of the township of Humberstone. At noon the bridal party proceeded to the parlor, while the wedding march was rendered by Mrs. Chauncey Moot. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Kay of Stevensville, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Buchannan of Rockway and North Pelham. The bride, tastily attired in cream brocade silk trimmed with pearls and chiffon, carried a beautiful bouquet of white roses, and was attended by her sister Nellie and Miss Nettie Stoner, both becomingly dressed in blue henrietta with trimmings of lace, silk and ribbon. The little maid of honor was Bessie Noble of St. Catharines, dressed in cream henrietta with pearl and ribbon trimmings. The groomsmen were Arthur Ball of Louth and Jas. McIntyre of Humberstone. Soon after the conclusion of the ceremony the numerous guests adjourned to the dining room, where a sumptuous repast was provided. The bride and groom, accompanied by the bridesmaids and groomsmen took their departure early in the afternoon, amid a shower of rice, for the G.T.R. station, St. Catharines, on a tour to the west. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and useful presents, showing the kindly feelings entertained for the young couple.
