The TALES you probably never heard about

ABBOTT-PETTAPIECE

[Welland Tribune, 23 June 1905]

A quiet but happy social event was consummated at the home of William Trimble, Cameron Ave. Essex Centre, on June 1st, at 10 o’clock, when Mr.. Trimble’s sister-in-law, Miss Isabella F. Pettapiece, was united in marriage to John A. Abbott, operator at the M.C.R. station, formerly of Welland. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.A. Rass, B.A., in the presence of few immediate relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties.

The bride was attired in a travelling suit of brown silk and was unattended. The ceremony over, a dainty dejeuner was partaken of, and the newly-married couple left on the east bound noon-train on a wedding trip to Welland, Buffalo, New York and other points east.

The bride was a member of the public school staff for many years and is one of the most estimable young ladies in the community, while the groom has been connected with the M.C.R.R. at Essex for so many years that he is known by almost everybody and the young couple have the best wishes of a host of friends.

Mrs. Abbott was the recipient of a number of costly and appropriate presents.
