Erwin-Winter

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Winter of Townsend Township, was the scene of a very pleasant gathering on Thursday, 18 Aug 1910, when Mr. Winter's only daughter, Carrie, became the wife of Ernest William Erwin, a prosperous young farmer of Woodhouse Township.

At high noon the ceremony was performed by Rev. W. E. Mason of Mt. Bridges, uncle of the groom, on the verandah under an arch of evergreens trimmed with the various flowers of the season. Guests to the number of 90 were seated on the lawn. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Walter Veale, cousin of the groom and bride.

The bride was very becomingly attired in a dress of cream liberty satin. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful necklace, and to the flower girl, Miss Lola Burch, a broach. The presents received by the young couple were many and included much that was costly and beautiful.

After the usual congratulations and the photographing of the guests by Mr. Butler of Simcoe, they were invited by the hostess into the spacious dining room where she had a table laden with  the delicacies of the season. After doing ample justice to this, a very pleasant afternoon was spent in singing and social intercourse, a time that will not soon be forgotten by those who were privileged to be present.

The bride's going away suit was of fawn. The happy couple left on the evening train for the Thousand Islands and other eastern points.
