COOK-FRANKLIN
A quiet but pretty wedding
took place on 25 Dec 1917
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Franklin at Clear Creek,
when their second daughter, Nellie Vanora, was united in holy
matrimony to Sheldon LeRoy Cook of Port Rowan, at high noon, to the
strains of Lohengrin's bridal march, played by Miss Bessie Cook of
Toronto.
The bride entered the parlor
leaning on the arm of her father, and took her place under an arch
of evergreen and bells. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr.
Freed of Clear Creek, assisted by Rev. Mr. Chapman of Walsingham
Centre.
The bride was daintily
attired in blue French silk poplin and carried a bouquet of bridal
roses.
After congratulations had
been received, the bridal party, with their friends, adjourned to
the dining room, which was decorated with evergreens and stars, and
partook of a sumptuous repast.
The bride was the recipient
of many beautiful presents. Only the immediate relatives were
present.
Mr. and Mrs. Cook left on
the Wednesday morning train for Hamilton, Toronto and other points,
the bride traveling in a nigger [sic] brown suit with large
black hat.
