Lefleur-Haviland.

At Glendale Farm, the home of Mr and Mrs. Ephraim Haviland, and in the presence of over 50 relatives and intimate friends, the pretty wedding took place at high noon of Lelah Verne, their youngest daughter and on of Boston's most popular young ladies, to Mr. Clyde Lefleur, Rev. D. D. Burtch officiating.

The bride entered the parlor gowned in arnold silk trimmed with garniture and pearls, her bridal veil caught with orange blossoms, leaning on the arm of her father. In front of a large bank of ferns and cut flowers were waiting the groom and little Miss Beatrice Buckberrough of Brantford, neice of the groom, dressed in a princess of cream satin, who acted as ring bearer. Mr. Fred Lundy of Mt. Pleasant played the wedding march. Miss Miss Haviland and Miss Lena Rusling were guest receivers.

After the ceremony the guests repaired to the lawn and sat down to an elaborate luncheon under a large tent which was beautifully decorated with pink and white, making in all a grand display. In the evening the newly married couple left for Waterford in an automobile, then took the M.C.R. train for St. Thomas and Detroit. The bride's travelling suit was of pearl grey novelty cloth with picture hat.

The groom presented the ring bearer with a dainty gold ring set with rubies, and the bride with a  handsome god watch and fob. The bride received from her parents a fine Heintzman piano. They also received a beautiful silver bread tray from the choir of which they were members. The bride's popularity was testified to by the unusually large number of valuable and handsome presents received.

[Compiler's Comment: Years later the bride's sister's obituary listed Mrs. Clyde Lefler of Brantford as a survivor.]
