"HYMENEAL
BROWN-NANCEKIVELL
God’s wisdom rules from pole to pole,
His light outshines the sun,
He enters on his charter roll,
Those joined by him as one.
Sweet membership of man and wife,
Through sorrow, sickness, gloom,
Through all the changing scenes of life,
Extendeth to the tomb.
If all their acts bring righteousness,
God’s love shall never cease,
May all their ways be pleasantness,
And all their paths be peace.
Such were the sentiments and feelings expressed or indicated on October 8th by the friends and relatives of Miss Wilhelmina Nancekivell and Mr. Fred Brown, both of Dereham, when fathered to solemnize the marriage of these two of the most esteemed and respected members of the township.
Some of the striking ways in which this high regard was shown were by the fine array of valuable presents received, the kinds congratulations offered and the large gathering that assembled. The day also lent its tribute of respect.
At 12 o’clock on the above date the invited guests assembled in the spacious parlour of Mr. William Nancekivell, Ex-Warden of Oxford, to await the appearance of the contracting parties, along with those who were to assist in the marriage ceremonies. The first to appear was the groomsman, Mr. Brown, then the bridesmaid, Miss Maud Nancekivell, followed by the Groom. Then came Miss Reta Karn, daughter of Dr. Karn, of Picton, who performed very prettily and acceptably the office of flower girl. Next and last of all came the bride accompanied by her father.
During the entry of the bridal parties, the wedding march was very appropriately played by Miss Lewis, of Michigan. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Brown, brother-in-law of the groom, after which the whole company sat down to a very daintily and bountifully prepared dinner.
Dinner over, the newly-married couple accompanied by bridesmaid and groomsman, were driven to the station, where contrary to the expectations of a crowd of young men and women who assembled at the Ingersoll station at 5 o’clock, they departed on the three o’clock train for eastern cities. In one case a wide gap has been made wider still in view of the important part played by that of an eldest daughter in a home. On the other hand a home shall receive a marked addition as the groom intends taking his bride to his home at Brownsville, where he plays a no less important part in the management of the farm.
