The bride was assisted by the Misses Hamel of Berlin, while Mr. Edward Doerbecker of Chicago and Mr. H. Haist of East Zorra looked after the interests of the groom. Rev. D. H. Brandt officiated. About forty guests sat down to a sumptuous wedding dinner, after which the bridal party left for their honeymoon trip amid showers of rice. Upon their return they settle down at Cassel where Mr. Haist owns a fine farm. The numerous and costly presents received by the bride show the high esteem in which she is held in and around St. Jacobs. Congratulations.

Early in May of the same year he arrived at Waterloo, Ontario, where he made his home for a short time with old Abraham Erb who assisted him in procuring a position to work at his trade, namely, that of shoemaking, which he followed for two or three years after his arrival in the country of his adoption. In 1832 he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Cressman) Erb. She was born January 28th, 1813, and died February 8th, 1868. Soon after their marriage they moved to Woolwich Township, about a mile east of St. Jacobs, Ontario, on the farm now possessed by John M. Weber where he followed farming several years. When pretty well advanced in years he entered into the mercantile business in partnership with Rev. Philip Winkler and transacted business in St. Jacobs for several years. Mr. Yost was born February 9th, 1805, and died November 6th, 1856, leaving a family"
