WEDDING - BAIRD - BAIN

The home of Conductor JAMES MURRAY, McKay St., Stellarton, was the scene of a pretty wedding Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 18th, when Mrs. MURRAY's sister, Miss SARA PEARL BAIN became the bride of Mr. ROY SAXBY BAIRD of Oxford, NS and who is station agent at Iona. Owing to the fact that the bride's brothers have been at the front amidst the scenes of death and destruction and also the recent death in action of her brother LEOPOLD, the wedding was a quiet one, only the immediate families of the contacting parties being present.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C.C. McINTOSH. At 1:30 the bride to the music of the Wedding March played by the sister of the groom, Miss VERA BAIRD, entered the room on the arm of her father, Mr. A. BAIN, who gave her away, and took her place beside the man of her choice.
Both bride and groom were unattended. The bride was dressed in her traveling suit of blue with hat to match, wearing a white fur and carrying a beautiful bouquet of white roses. The groom's gift to the bride was a substantial check and to the pianist, a diamond ring. The bride was kindly remembered by families and friends whose gifts included fancy work, cut glass and several checks and a letter was received from her brother LEOPOLD written sometime before he entered the action, which resulted in his death, stipulating a gift of money for the bride. After the ceremony and congratulations, lunch was served and the happy couple left on the express for Toronto and other Upper Province points to spend their honeymoon. -- New Glasgow News.
