Dernoch, on Wednesday, April l-lth. when their fourth dz‘mghter, Caroline Isabelle, was united to the man of her choice, Mr. .Inseph Askett Allen, youngest. sen of Mr. and Mrs. James Allen, of \\'illiamsford. The ceremony was performed in the presence of about thirtyâ€"five relatives and friends. At five o’- clock, to the strains of the wedding march played by the bride's sister, Miss Margaret Mortley, the groom took his place under the arch dec- orated for the occasion. The bride, dressed in White georgette crepe, with veil caught up with orange blossoms, and carrying a. bouquet of white carnations and maidenhair fern. was given away by her father. Her pastor, Rev. Mr. Mills, tied the nuptial knot. After the ceremony‘, the guests assembled in the dining room, where they partook of a sumptuous dinner. The evening was spent in games and music. The groom’s gift to the bride was a ten-dollar gold- piece, and to the organist a gold brooch. The many and varied gifts to the bride were both handsome and useful. The happy couple will reside on the groom‘s farm near Berkeley. EMBLINB WARNER DOUGLAS 1 On Tuesday night, about 9.30, death came unexpectedly to Miss Emeline Warneir Douglas, at the home of her brother, Mr. Robert Douglas, in town. The deceased was born in Beverly township 61 years ago, and spent the greater portion of her time in Toronto. For some time, years ago, she lived with her brother, and was well- known by many in town and vicin- “3. It was known her heart was afiected, but she was able to attend her duties till about three months ago, when she 33 as taken somewhat seriously ill and came to her brother’s home, where she 33' as kindly cared for. She leaves to mourn her death, one brother, Robert. and two sis- ters, Mrs. Aaron Vollett, of Norman- by, and Martha, in Toronto. She was a member of the Methodist church. Interment takes place this afternoon in Durham cemetery. Mrs. Noble of Toronto, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fallaise, is seriously ill in the Cottage Hospital, and her relatives and friends are very anxious. Her trouble is from anaemia and bloodâ€"poisoning, and she is in a VOI’V weak condition. A Very interesting experiment was tried a short time ago 113 the infu- sion of blood. An artery. or Vein, was opened, and her sister, -Violet, volunteered to furnish the blood Though slightly improved, it is not known what. the result VVill be. W 9 hope for a oomplete restoration to health. Mr. Noble, her husband, is just recovering from a very serious ac.- cident, and we hope he will soon regain his former vigor. He enlist- ed for air service, and while train- ing in England something went wrong with the machine and it fell a distance of 750 feet, injuring his neck. We are glad to learn he is so far recovered as to be able to engage in munition work.
