Cameron-Vanderburg 1897 norman carrie adelia marriage

             The home of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Vanderburgh, 123 West Main street, was the scene of a pretty wedding ceremony on Wednesday, when Norman Cameron, counsellor-at- law, Boston, Mass., and Carrie Adelia Vanderburgh, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderburgh of this place, were united in marriage. The interior was beautifully trimmed with flowers in which roses and hydrangeas took a leading part. The ceremony took place at promptly 2 p.m., D.S. Houck of Picton, Ontario tying the nuptial knot and Bessie Burgar playing the wedding music. The bride wore a lovely dress of white India silk and carried white roses. Miss Carrie Misener of Humberstone, bridesmaid, was also becomingly attired in white and carried pink roses. The groom was supported by Chas. P. Page of Buffalo. The guests numbered about twenty; all intimate friends and some very handsome gifts were presented to the charming bride. Prominent among these was a silver cake knife from the teachers and officers of the Methodist Sunday school where Miss Vanderburgh has been a zealous worker in several Christian societies, and her presence will be missed in the church and the social circle. Mr. Cameron is a rising young barrister of Boston. He is accompanied here by his mother, Mary, Mrs. Robert (Dr.) Cameron. Congratulations were followed by the prophetic showers of rice, and at 4.52 the M.C.R. express carried away the wedding party for a trip east and along the Atlantic Coast. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron will of course reside in the aesthetic Hub where they will be followed by the hearty good speeds of a legion of sincere friends. The couple will be at home to friends at 1026 Boyleston Street after Oct. 8^th.
