ILLSEY -
ACKERILL - Belleville, Ontario, Sept 14 - St. Thomas Church was crowded this
morning, the attraction being the marriage of Miss Anna Mabel Ackerill,
second daughter of Dr. D. H. Ackerill, V. S., to Mr. Eugene Victor Illsey,
formerly of Picton, now manager of the Standard Bank at McTaggart, Sask., and
formerly at the staff of the same bank in this city. The sacred edifice was appropriately
decorated with golden rod and golden glow for the occasion by the girl
friends of the bride. Sharply at ten o’clock
the bridal party entered the church to the strains of the wedding march from
Lohengrin, played by Miss L. LaVoie, organist. The bride proceeded up the
aisle on the arm of her father. She
looked very charming in a dress of ivory duchesse satin wearing the customary
veil and a wreathe of orange blossoms, and carrying white roses. The maid of honor was Mrs. (Rev.) G.R.
Beamish, the sister of the bride, who wore pink crepe de chene and carried
pink chrysanthemums. The bridesmaids
were Miss Flossie Graham, of Belleville, and Miss Jessie Newberry, of St.
Louis, both of whom were dressed in yellow crepe de chene with large picture
hats of black and bore red roses. Mrs.
(Dr.) Ackerill, mother of the bride wore brown silk with hat to match. The groom was attended by Mr. E.
O’Flynn. the ushers were Messrs Chas.
Addison, uncle of the bride, Rochester;
Joseph Wallbridge, Harold Clarke, Hugh Williamson, of Picton. The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Rural Dean Beamish, rector of St. Thomas and brother-in-law of the
bride. After the magic words had been
said that made the happy couple man and wife and during the signing of the
register, Mrs. Charles Wilmot sang, “Beloved it is Morn.” Immediately thereafter the bridal
procession left the church to the pealing notes of Mendelssohn’s “Wedding
March.” The party then repaired to the
home of the bride’s parents on John street where a wedding breakfast and
reception was held. There were many
guests both from Belleville and from outside places. Mr. and Mrs. Illsey left on the 1.50 train
this afternoon for their home in McTaggart.
A very large number of handsome presents were received by the
bride. Particularly noticeable among
them was a handsome clock the gift of the men of John Street Presbyterian
church, of whose choir the groom was formerly a member. The many friends of
the popular young couple will wish then perfect happiness in their
matrimonial life. |

The marriage of
Mr. Roy Johnston and Miss Mabel Chalmers, both members of the congregation of
St. Alban's church, Adolphustown, was on the morning of June 11th, celebrated
by the Rector, Rev. Canon Roberts, in that church renowned for its beauty and
as being the U.E.L. Memorial Church, its internal beauty having, for the
occasion, been added to by tasty floral and fern decorations, the work of
lady friends of the young couple. The high estimation in which the young
people are held was abundantly evidenced by the large congregation that
assembled to witness and take part in the solemnization, and surely never was
there a more orderly and reverent congregation at any marriage ceremony. The
apostolic injunction was obeyed, all things being 'done decently and in
order'. The opening hymn was 276, B.C.P. by Canon Welch, some time of
Toronto, the first three and the sixth verses. A second hymn, "O Perfect
Love", 277 B.C. P., being sung after the first blessing to Dr. Dyke's
tune "O Strength and Stay", the music for which Miss Blomfield,
afterwards Mrs. Gurney, wrote this hymn in about 15 minutes to be sung for
the first time at her sister's marriage. The service concluded, Mendelsohn's
Wedding March played by Miss Dorothea Roberts, the organist, and the register
signed the happy young couple left for a short trip westward followed by the hearty "God speed" of all. |
