The sun came out clear and bright on
Tuesday morning, ushering in with its golden beams the wedding day of the
fairest daughter Perth has sent out for many a day to make glad the new home of
one of its stranger guests. On that
day at 1:30 in the afternoon Edna Stewart
Meighen, eldest daughter of one of our most respected townsmen and
merchants, William Meighen, Esq., was united in marriage to Russell
Gordon Cameron Edwards of Ottawa, one of the younger members of the Canada
Lumber Company, a firm whose business limits and mills are known over the whole
Ottawa valley. The ceremony took
place at the beautiful and commodious home of the bride’s parents on Drummond
St and was performed by Rev. A. H. Scott, pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church. The ample drawing room was
beautifully decked out with fern, flowers and in lavish abundance in festoons of
bouquets, designs of various kinds in choice blooms, etc., rare and exquisite
roses being a feature of the floral decorations.
The wide hall and staircase showed masses of flowering and foliage plants
and the dining room was equally rich in its floral display, the whole suite of
apartments looking like a fair bower fit for the representation of Titania’s
flowery dell in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
The bride’s gown was of heavy brocaded white satin with passion flowers
and a very long train handsomely trimmed with Irish point lace, ribbon and yoke
of pearls and graceful sprays of orange blossoms dipped on one shoulder with
tiny fruit. Around her neck she
wore a necklace with a diamond pendant in the form of a star which contained 57
diamonds. This was the gift of the
bridegroom. The bride carried in
her hands a bouquet of pure white roses. Four
bridesmaids attended the bride at the ceremony:
her two sisters, Misses Laura and Mattie(?); Miss McLaren and Miss
Cockfield. The two former wore mauve silk gowns superbly trimmed with
accordion pleating, chiffon and pearl trimmings while Miss McLaren and Miss
Cockfield wore faintest shades of blue silk and crepen gowns trimmed with silk
velvet and accordion. The
bridesmaids wore handsome gold pins with the initials of the bride and groom set
in pearls and carried bouquets of white roses and carnations. The groom was assisted by E.F. Burritt of Ottawa and two
juvenile pages in appropriate costumes—Isobel Lindsay of Montreal and Leonora
Meighen respectively niece and sister of the bride completed the marriage train.
The attendant guests at the wedding were:
J.C. Edwards, Miss Edwards, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. J. Woods, Miss Cameron,
Boyd Edwards, Ottawa; Mrs. J.C. Edwards of Rockland; Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Meighen, Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, Dr. Stewart Nichol, Mrs. Lindsay, Montreal;

The large gathering of friends at the railway station at 3:30 was an

wedding breakfast. Mr. and Mrs.

On Wednesday night, the Methodist Church
was the scene of one of those brilliant events which was of interest to the
whole community when two of our most popular young people were united in
marriage, Dr. A.E. Hanna and Essie Scott,
eldest daughter of Robert Scott. Long
before the hour of 8:00 arrived, the church was filled with interested and a
fashionable crowd of citizens to witness the simple but impressive marriage
ceremony of the Methodist Church. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. J.H. Stewart of Cataraqui, uncle of the bride,
assisted by Rev. G.G. Huxtable, pastor of the church. On the approach of the bridal party to the church, the choir
rose and sang the beautiful marriage hymn.
At the same time the ministers entered from the vestry followed by the
groom and groomsman who waited at the altar for the coming of the bride.
The bridal party entered by the front door of the church, preceded by the
four ushers, the bride leaning on the arm of her father and followed by the
bridesmaids and maids of honor. The
carpet in front was sprinkled with wild daisies and the motto “God Be With
You” in daisies and ferns was suspended on the organ.
Other floral decorations gave the interior of the building an enchanting
appearance. Miss Annie Scott of
Perth presided at the organ and rendered the wedding march as the bridal party
left the church. As soon as the
impressive service was concluded the party drove to the residence of the
bride’s parents on Drummond Street where the wedding supper was served and
time spent in social engagement until the departure of Dr. and Mrs. Hanna on the
midnight train for the west. The
bridesmaids were Miss Jean E. Scott, sister of the bride and Edith A. Scott of
Pakenham, cousin of the bride. The
maids of honor were little Muriel Hanna, niece of the groom and little Flo
Jamieson, daughter of Rev. W. S. Jamieson.
Dr. W.A. Gray of Smith’s Falls was the groomsman. The
ushers were Dr. F. Hanna and Henry Nielsen of Perth; R.J.E. Scott of Montreal;
S.I. Scott of Smith’s Falls. The
bride’s dress was of ivory white silk trimmed with deep point lace and pearls,
bridal veil ornaments and crown of orange blossoms and gold sword pin set with
turquoise and pearls, gold chain bracelet, gift of the groom.
She carried a bouquet of white roses.
Miss Jean E. Scott’s dress was of Tuscan silk trimmed with guipure
lace, and bouquet of cream roses, gold brooch set with pearls, a present from
the groom. Miss Edith A. Scott wore
a pale green crepon dress trimmed with cream lace and ribbon.
She wore a beautiful brilliant star, the gift of the groom, and carried a
bouquet of cream roses. Little
Muriel Hanna looked very pretty dressed all in pink crepon with a bouquet of
pink white roses. The bride and
groom received the congratulations of their friends standing under a beautiful
floral parasol lined with daisies. The
Citizen’s Band marched to the family residence on Drummond Street in the
evening and attended the bridal party.
