Hi To All!
Another one of my CROSBY"S

This was in 1906..........
The home of Mr. James CROSBY of the 4th line of Tossorontio was, on the 19th
inst., the scene of a happy event, when his second daughter, Mary J., was
united in marriage to Mr. Alex R. PATTERSON of West Essa.

Thanks a whole bunch

These clippings were saved in a book by my great-grandmother Sarah Elizabeth
(SELBY) AGAR, or perhaps by her mother, Eliza (BELL) SELBY. Unfortunately,
most are not dated and I do not know which newspaper they were from.
However, I suspect that many of them were from The Alliston Herald. I will
type them just as they appear -- spelling mistakes, punctuation and all!

Each posting here represents one page (one side) from the book.

The home of Mr. James CROSBY of the 4th line of Tossorontio was, on the 19th
inst., the scene of a happy event, when his second daughter, Mary J., was
united in marriage to Mr. Alex R. PATTERSON of West Essa. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. J. E. SMITH, B. A., in the presence of about sixty
invited guests. The bride was given away by her father and was attended by
her sister Etta, as bridesmaid, and a little maid of honor, Millie GAULEY.
The groom was assisted by Mr. Freeman McFADDEN. The bride wore a pretty
gown of creme cashmere, trimmed with silk applique and folds; her veil was
fastened with orange blossoms and she carried a bouquet of white carnations
and ferns. The bridesmaid wore a gown of blue camel's hair cloth, with
cream satin front, and carried a bouquet of pink carnations and ferns. The
little maid of honor was attired in pink cashmere, trimmed with cream
baby-ribbon. The bride's travelling gown was of blue camel's hair cloth.
Her hat was of white mohair, trimmed with chiffon. Among the many valuable
presents of which the bride was the recipient was a gold bracelet and locket
from the groom, from whom also the bridesmaid received a gold ring of
torquise [sic] and pearls. After the wedding breakfast the young couple
took the evening train for Toronto. Upon their return they will live at
West Essa. THE HERALD joins their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs.
PATTERSON a prosperous and happy journey through life.
