  • Notes 
    • McKellar-Rumpel Wedding

      The marriage of Miss Olga Rumpel, eldest daughter of Mr. George Rumpel of Berlin, and Mr. H. D. McKellar on Tuesday, was an event which had been eagerly anticipated by all in the entire town. It took place at 2: 00 o'clock in the afternoon in St. Peter's Lutheran Church in the presence of more than one hundred guests and a crowd which not only filled the large church, but also stretched out as far as the street. After the marriage ceremony, the young couple held a reception in Mr. Rumpel's beautifully decorated residence, and then departed at 5: 30 for New York and other points, east. The quantity of beautiful and costly gifts, which had been presented to the bride by friends and relatives exceeds anything of the sort previously seen in Berlin. The wedding refreshments served in the course of the afternoon were prepared and served by a Toronto firm. A Toronto gardener had also decorated the house. As well, the myrtle wreath of the bride was a shoot from a branch that her mother had carried in her hands on her wedding-day.
