MCBURNEY-DOBBIE
[People’s Press, 21 August 1900]
One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was celebrated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Dobbie, Victoria avenue, Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock, when their eldest daughter, Sara Elizabeth, was united to Mr. Fred Campbell McBurney, a well-known barrister of this town and president of the Niagara Falls, Wesley Park & Clifton Tramway Company.
The house was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers of all sorts and presented a very pleasing appearance. The wedding party entered the parlors a little after 5 o’clock to the strains of a wedding march played by Miss Carlotta Spence, cousin of the bride and took up their position beneath a magnificent arch of similax ferns and roses. The bride was charmingly attired in white organdie and was supported by her sister, Miss Mary Dobbie who wore green organdie. The groom was assisted by Capt. Charles H. Mitchell. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Crawford, pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church in the presence of the immediate relatives of the bride and groom.
After the hearty congratulations of the assembled guests the party sat down to a sumptuous supper to which all did ample justice.
The happy couple left at 8 o’clock for a trip to the sea, followed by showers of rice and good wishes.
Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. McBurney will take up their residence at the corner of Walnut street and Victoria avenue at the centre.
