Miss Martha and Miss Ada, sisters of the bride, acted as bridesmaids and were dressed in becoming costumes of white hailstone muslin and buttercup sashes, with hat and shoes to match. The bride's father gave her away.

" The groomsman was Mr. John Cameron, brother of the Bridegroom. There was a large muster of friends and relations of the contracting parties present at the Church.
