The TALES you probably never heard about

CAMERON-VANDERBURGH

[Welland Tribune, 27 August 1897]

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Vanderburgh, West Main street, was the scene of a pretty wedding ceremony on Wednesday, when Norman Cameron, councellor- at- law Boston, Mass., and Miss Carrie A. Vanderburgh, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Vanderburg of this place, were united in marriage. The interior was beautifully trimmed with flowers, in which roses and hydrangeas took a leading part. The ceremony took place promptly at 2 p.m. , rev. D.S. Houck of Picton, Ont., tying the nuptial knot and Miss Bessie Burger playing the wedding march. The bride wore a lovely dress of white India silk and carried white roses. Miss Carrie Misener of Humberstone, bridesmaid, was also becomingly attired in white, and carried pink roses. The groom was supported by Chas. C. Page of Buffalo. The guests numbered about twenty-five intimate friends, and some very handsome gifts were presented to the charming bride. Prominent to these was a silver cake knife from the teachers and officers of the Methodist Sunday school. Miss Vanderburgh has been a zealous worker in several Christian societies, and her presence will be greatly missed in the church and the social circle. Mr. Cameron is a rising young barrister of Boston. He was accompanied here by his mother, Mrs. (Dr.) Cameron. Congratulants were followed by the prophetic showers of rice, and at 4.52 the M.C.R. express carried away the wedding party for a trip East, and along the Atlantic coast. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron will of course reside in the ascetic Hub, where they will be followed by the hearty god-speeds of a legion of sincere friends. They will be at home to friends at 1026 Boylston street, after Oct.8th.
