Kellum--Moore
 

A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Peter Moore on 26 Dec, when their third daughter Edith married one of Townsend's most prosperous young farmers, Ansley, youngest son of Lebbius [sic] Kellum of Tyrrell.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. D. Burtch of Villa Nova, under an arch of evergreen, decorated with holly, mistle and white silk ribbon.

The Bridal party entered the parlor at 2.30 to the strains of a most popular wedding march, played by Miss Rhoda Kitchen.

The bride was gowned in a cream serge trimmed with lace, ribbon and rhinestone buckles, and wore lilies of of the valley and smilax. She was supported by her sister, Miss Ethel Moore, who wore a gown similar to that 
of the bride. The groom was ably supported by his cousin, Mr. Frank Culver, 
of Bloomsburg. 

Miss Jennie Walker and Miss Eva Culver acted as reception maids. They were dressed in white organdie making a handsome appearance.

After congratulations, the newly wedded couple and guests to the number of 85 sat down to a sumptuous repast. The bride received a handsome assortment of beautiful presents, showing the high esteem in which she is held by her many friends. Guests were present from Hamilton, Brantford, Buffalo, Simcoe and the surrounding vicinity. Congratulations were received from Buffalo, Hamilton and Brooklyn, N.Y.

The happy couple left on the evening train to spend a week visiting friends at Hamilton and Buffalo, N.Y.
