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. 8th.

MARCUS VANDERBURG SERIOUSLY INJURED, IN CRITICAL CONDITION
[People's Press, 17 July 1917]
Rig He Was Driving Collided With Street Car on East Main Street-Thrown To Pavement Striking On His Head
SUFFERING FROM CONCUSSION OF THE BRAIN
Marcus Vanderburg, one of Welland’s oldest and foremost residents, was perhaps fatally injured Friday afternoon. At this writing he is lying in Welland County Hospital, suffering from concussion of the brain, and his condition is extremely critical, especially in view of his advanced age, about 76 years.
The accident happened on East Main Street, half a block west of the G.T.R. Mr. Vanderburg was driving west with a single horse and democrat loaded with tile, and just as he turned out to pass an automobile standing alongside the curb, a street car came from the opposite direction. The car struck the front axle of the wagon, swinging the horse which fell, and throwing Mr. Vanderburg head first between the horse and the wagon.
Witnesses of the accident removed Mr. Vanderburg from this dangerous position as quickly as possible and medical aid was summoned. He was then removed to the hospital in an automobile. Apparently Mr. Vanderburg struck the pavement with the back of his head, a nasty bruise being resulted.
Mr. Vanderburg has been in the contracting business in Welland for over half a century, having built many of Welland’s best businesses.
His wife has been seriously ill for some months.
