At Thursday night's meeting of the Historical Society, Mr. H. W. LeMWSSURIER,
C. M. G., presiding, Mr. E. R. FURLONG was elected to membership. Rev. P. W.
BROWNE, of the University at Booklands, D. C., and Mr. I. KENNEDY, will be
balloted for at the next meeting. Dr. J .A. ROBINSON presented some extracts
from the Annual Register, among which from the volume of 1811 appears a despatch
of the Duke of Wellington in which Lt.-Col. Henry PYNN is mentioned. This volume
was some time the property of Mr. W. ALEXANDER, of Bonavista, whose name appears
on it with the date 1816. He states PYNN was a native of St. John's and
an employee of Elms. The fact is that he was born at Bristol's Hope (Mosquito).
The Royal Newfoundland Regiment or Royal Newfoundland Fencibles are mentioned
in despatches of 1812, referring to the attack by the Americans on Detroit.
Ensign KERR is recorded as wounded. He was a relative of the McBRIDES, of the
firm of McBRIDE & KERR, after whom McBride's Hill is named. Others
mentioned are Capt. LeLIEVE, Capt. MOCKLER, aide-de-Camp, Lieut.
LeBRETON and Lieut. GARDEN
About 60 Newfoundlanders all told, took part in the engagement and the despatch
(1812) says, "The detachment of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment behaved
with great gallantry." In the discussion which followed the reading
of the extracts, reference was made to Captain (afterward Colonel) SKINNER,
whose tablet is to be seen on the walls of St. Thomas Church . He lived about
the period of 1813 and owned property on Bell Island, extending from the
Beach to its eastern end. He had an observatory on Tolt Hill near St. Philip's
from which, with a telescope, he watched his men at work on the farm.

BRITISH INCOME TAX
Non- Residents
London, April 5th 1920
The Editor Daily News.
Dear Sir:- There will no doubt be a considerable number of your readers
interested to know the recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Income
Tax which have recently been published in so far as they affect those who come
within the term "non residents" and possibly entitle such person
who have British Income to some reduction from the highest rate in force.
According to the present law no persons who are residence outside the United
Kingdom are entitles to any rebate of British Income tax unless they can bring
themselves within certain well defined expressions such as (a) Crown Service,
(b) Ex-Crown Service (C) Widows of Ex-Crown Servants, (d) Missionaries (e)
Resident abroad for reasons of health (f) Residence in the Isle of Man or the
Channel Island. The Royal Commission have recommended that any relief that
would be granted to a British subject resident in the United Kingdom should
equally be granted to a British subject residence abroad, and that the relief
should be calculated by relation to real total
Income (including foreign and colonial Income), any relief given being in
the proportion that the Income subject to United Kingdom Income Tax bears to
the total Income at the effective rate that would be charged if the total Income
(including income not subject to United Kingdom Income Tax, but computed as
far as possible as it would be if were so subject), were assessable in this
country.
Yours Faithfully

NEWFOUNDLANDERS LOST ON TRAWLER
Two Newfoundlanders, Michael DRAKE, of St. Lawrence, and F.
TIPPLE of this
city, belonging to the crew of the Nova Scotia steamer trawler M. F. B are
missing and believed lost since the sinking of that ship off Halifax a fortnight
ago.
The M. F. B. left Liverpool N. S. on Monday afternoon, March 29th,
for the Banks. Arriving on the Banks she met with success until the following
Monday, when she left the Banks for Halifax to take on bunker coal. About 80,000
pounds of fresh fish were on board. the results of the six days fishing. About
5.30 p.m. Monday, when she was 35 miles from Halifax the trawler was found
to be leaking aft. Immediately the pumps were put into use and it was found
that they could not control the incoming water. An attempt was also made to
bale the water out, with no success. Towards 8 o'clock the water the water
reached the engine room putting out the fires out, and continued rising. Capt.
KRAMP then decided that it was useless to stand by the ship, as he did not
think she would remain afloat another two hours. Preparations were made to
abandon the trawler. Two lifeboats were launched, as well as the dory, food
and rockets being placed in them.
Before leaving the ship between 8.30 and 8.45 o'clock efforts were made
by flares and rockets to attract attention of other craft, and when his men
took to the boats the trawler's decks were almost awash. The weather
began to become stormy and the three boats hauled away, and headed for land.
In each of the two lifeboats there were eight men, Capt. KRAMP being in charge
of one, and First Officer TURNER of the other, the four men leaving in a dory.
The three boats kept together for several hours and Capt. KRAMP says that he
last saw the other lifeboat about ten o'clock. She has not since been
heard of and is given over for lost. The two Newfoundlanders above named were
aboard her. Another Newfoundlander John BURTON of St. Lawrence was a member
of the crew, but he was saved.

OBITUARY:
Mrs. W. R. GOOBIE
"She dwells where fragrant flowers bloom,
And joy supreme is given,
Where God's own presence can alone,
Make all serene - in Heaven"
Entered into rest on Wednesday May 5th in her 38th year, Alice
Catherine, beloved wife of Mr. Wallace R. GOOBIE and the youngest
daughter of Mrs. Mary and the late William H. COOK. Mrs. GOOBIE leaves to mourn
her husband and five young children, besides a mother, and three sisters Mrs.
Jacob CHAFE, Mrs. Levi CHAFE, and Mrs. George RIDEOUT. Although the shadow of
death had long been imminent, yet Mrs. GOOBIE regarded the grim specter without
either fear or dismay. Calmly during her long and trying illness she had made
all possible preparation for the material comfort for her husband and five children
and fully realizing that her strength was waning, she fought with supreme courage
that which she knew to be a losing fight, and thus did the valiant spirit of
this frail woman triumph over bodily suffering. Shortly before the end she
called her little ones to her beside and bade them not to cry and mourn because
she was leaving them to go to Heaven, where they would all meet again. After
having said good bye to her dear ones, she passed quietly into the sleep which
knows no waking.

soon be past. The deceased lady was greatly esteemed and much respected by
a large circle of friends for her many good and truly Christian qualities.
Her demise will be deeply regretted by all who knew her. Her patient resignation
to the All-wise decrees of Providence and the fortitude with which she bore
a painful and lingering illness, marked the true Christian spirit of the deceased,
she has now obtained the life of rest in joy and gladness, where pain is unknown.

place were asleep. The origin of the fire is unknown, and it is said no insurance
was carried on either building and machinery.

OBITUARY:
Mrs. P. J. BURKE
Early on Friday morning Mrs. Alice BURKE, wife of Mr. P. J. BURKE of this
city passed away, at the age of 66. Last Sunday it was her privilege to listen
to the inspiring sermon of the Rev. Father FLYNN at the Cathedral and subsequently
to attend the Communication ceremonies in the Bannerman Park. Since the death
of her son, Lieut. Frank BURKE, who was the last of many Newfoundland officers
to seal their service to King and country with their lives. Mrs. BURKE's
health has been seriously undermined, and to the heavy strain of her physical
and nervous energy was added the anxiety occasioned by the serious wounds of
her son Leonard at Cambrai, which threatened his sight, and for which he is
now under treatment in New York. The late Mrs. BURKE was a Miss MULLOWNEY of
this city. Nearly thirty years of her married life, she resided in St. Jacques,
and for the past fourteen in St. John's. She has been appropriately referred
to as a "Mother of Israel." When St. Jacques, none was more interested
in the welfare of its people. With a cultured mind and vigorous mentality she
combined rare sympathy and tact. On one occasion, when through some misadventure
the children of the South Coast town were without a teacher, she undertook
the duties herself as a labour of love. Four of her sons volunteered for active
service. Those that survive are Dr. Vincent P. BURKE, Supt. of R. C. Schools,
Norbert, with the N. S. Steel Co., Dr. John, Dentist of this city and Leonard
above referred to. Mrs. BURKE lived a full life and in blessing others was
herself blessed. The bereaved husband and sons have the sincere sympathy of
citizens generally in their great sorrow.

BRIDE JACKMAN
There passed away at 7 o'clock last evening, Bride, the eldest daughter
of Mary and the late James JACKMAN, at the early age of 17 years. The sad news
of her passing will be received with deep regret by all who knew her and particularly
by her classmates and teachers at the Mercy Convent and St. Brides Academy
to whom she had endeared herself by her ever gentle and winning manner. In
April last she became ill that she had to discontinue her studies in which
she had made marked progress, but up to the end maintained a cheerful disposition.
Despite the best medial attendance and the loving care of a devoted mother,
the end came at the hour mentioned. Gently she passed away. To the sorrowing
mother, brothers and sisters sincere sympathy is extended.
MISS ANNA KENNEALLY
The sudden passing of Miss Anna KENNEALLY, daughter of Capt.
John KENNEALLY of Carbonear, came as a terrible blow to her father, relatives
and friends in the home town and elsewhere. The young lady, who was in her
20th year, was paying a visit to the capital when the sad event occurred. She
had been suffering for some time past with heart trouble but recently appeared
to be regaining her health. She reached St. John's on Tuesday of last week
and was feeling fairly well. On Saturday morning as she was rising she died.
A priest and doctor were promptly called but she had passed away before their
arrival. The funeral took place yesterday at Carbonear. To her father, three
sisters and three brothers we extended sympathy in their seep sorrow.
JOHN GRIFFIN
The passing of John GRIFFIN at the Escasoni Hospital last evening,
after a protracted illness, will be deeply regretted by many friends. "Jack" as
he was familiarly called, was one of those who went over when the great world
war was on. Having been rejected in the Regiment he joined up in the Foresters
and served the full period in Scotland, and held the respect of not only the
Newfoundlanders but the others Colonials who were giving like service. For
many years he was trusted employee of the Boot and Shoe Factory but was capable
of other work and occasionally visited the ice fields, always with success.
In the T. A. Club Rooms he was a welcome member and those who took part in
the various games in which he always led will sincerely regret his early passing
at 42 years. A loyal companion, honest in all his undertakings, he made an
impression on those who were closely associated with him including the writer.
His widow and five orphans, his two brothers, Lawrence of Garden Aerated Water
Works, Patrick of the Newfoundland Boot and Shoe Factory, his sister Mrs. WALL
and his mother, will have the sympathy of their numerous friends in their bereavement.

relatives and friends here and elsewhere. When the sad news reached over the
wire the right Rev. Monsignor McCARTHY visited the home of Captain KENEALLY
to sympathize and console with him on the very sad occasion. The deceased young

Unstinted praise in due Miss DUNNE of the hotel, in taking the whole responsibility
in the selecting of the casket and in preparing all that was necessary for
the deer departed. The undertaker, Mr. MARTIN, is well deserving of praise
for his promptitude in having the remains placed on the train in good time,
arriving at Carbonear at 10.30 p.m. The casket, enclosing the dear deceased
lady, was removed from the train and placed tenderly on the hearse and conveyed
to the old homestead, Patrick Place. Her popularity and the high esteem in
which she was held was noticeable in the great stream of people visiting the
home to take a farewell glance. When the sad news of her passing reached here,
it was with deepest regret by all who knew her particularly with her class
and schoolmates to whom she had endeared herself by her ever gentle and winning
manner.
The floral offerings were many and grand, fully covering the casket. The funeral

Place. When arriving at St. Patrick's Church, the Rev. Father Cullen
officiated, as also at the cemetery graveside, where the deceased was interred

of god. Praying the eternal re-union words, "I am the resurrection
and the life, he that believeth in me, through he be dead, shall live."

"To-day we laid her beneath the sod,
And gazed on the new made grave
We know she has passed through the pearly gates
Far over the chilly wave
Beyond the cold damp mist of death
She saw the summer land,
In the valley of shadow she feared not to tread
While Jesus held her hand.
Loved once came down to the river's brink
But they could not cross the tide,
'I'll be watching for you,' were the words she said,
As she passed to the other side.
In her earthly home is a vacant chair,
and a Dear one gone for aye,
But we'll meet her where our Lord's own hands,
Shall wipe all tears away.

and married the late John BUTT, who predeceased her some 40 years or more.
During the past quarter of a century she has been living in St. John's
where her kindly disposition won for her a warm place in the hearts of all
with whom she came in contact. Kindness and affection coupled with a broad
tolerant temperament, marked the life of the deceased lady, and she leaves
this world after a long span of years which have been truly well spent. She
was a staunch adherent of the Methodist Church and wherever opportunity offered
took a prominent part in church work. Left to survive her are three daughters- Mrs.

The funeral takes place today at 2.30 p.m. from the residence of her daughter,

Fortified with the rites of the Holy Church, there died at the residences
of her sister, Torbay Road, Elizabeth, beloved wife of Michael J. WADDEN, shoemaker,
of this city, and daughter of the late Capt. Michael O'KEEFE of Hr. Grace.
The late Mrs. WADDEN was an exemplary Catholic, being at all times in the forefront

church functions where financial aid was needed. Mrs. WADDEN took a prominent
part in the old time bazaar to raise funds for St. Patrick's Church,

Mrs. ABEL STONE
Bell Island
On Monday, Oct. 18th, there passed away after a long illness,
Mrs. Abel STONE, matron of the Dominion Staff House. Bell Island can ill afford
to lose residence of Mrs. STONE 's value, kind, hospitable and motherly, many
will feel her loss keenly. Though only living on Bell Island for 5 or 6 years
yet in that time she had made many friends that would have taken others a lifetime
to make. Living a Christian life and acting on the commandment of charity,
her life was one that was exemplary. Many indeed will miss her sadly. The Anglican
Church of which she was a devoted member miss in her a worker that will be
hard to replace. Mrs. STONE was formerly Miss Margaret BATTOCK, of Hr. Grace
a icon of one of the oldest families in Newfoundland and one that helped to
make this Colony known around the world. Her remains were sent to Hr. Grace
on Wednesday to be interred in the family plot of that city. To her sorrowing
husband the sympathy of this community goes out, because in losing a beloved
wife, the community loses a womanly friend of sterling qualities.

ADRIFT FOR 60 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER
Two St. John's Men Have Very Trying Time
Being in a 16-foot disable motor boat without food or water for 60 hours,
and driving about on the ocean in sight of land, and with their appeals for
help unnoticed such is the experience of two well-known residents of the West
End, who were picked up yesterday morning about four miles off Cape Spear by
the schooner Vivian Ruth, bound to this port from Halifax. It seems
that on Sunday night James BRACE and Richard COADY visited some friends on board
the American steamer Tulsa, which was anchored in the stream. After being on
board for several hours they bade their friends goodnight, and at 11 o'clock
got into their motor boat and started for the shore. After pushing off from
the steamer it was found that the engine would not work and although every
effort was made to effect repairs and get the engine working, it was of no
avail. To make matters worse, there was neither sails nor oars in the boat
and they soon found themselves drifting out the narrows. Several attempts were
made to land on the South Side, but in the darkness and with no means of propulsion,
it was useless. A flare-up was lighted out of a handkerchief, but this was not
seen by anyone on shore, and gradually the boat and its two occupants slowly
drifted to sea. The weather was fine, and the sea comparatively calm and all
night the boat drifted helplessly about. When daylight broke they were about
five miles off Cape Spear, the houses and Blockhouse being very plainly seen.
A distress signal was hoisted on one of the seats but there was not response,
and all day they drifted about with the wind and tide. On Monday night the wind
freshened up somewhat and blew off the land, and they spent a very uneasy time
of it, but being old sea dogs and having been up against it before they did
not lose heart, but hoped for the best. The weather was very cold and to keep
themselves warm they got into the "cuddy" and lay close to
one another. On Tuesday morning they were out of sight of land, and having not
food, with no sail or smoke in sight, and the boat shipping water, it looked
as if fate was not going to be kind to the two castaways. During the day some
rain water was caught in a piece of canvas which was in the boat, and this helped
to appease the hungry and thirsty men. All day Tuesday and all night the boat
drifted about and at daylight yesterday morning the land was once again in sight.
Repeated efforts were made to get Cape Spear or the Cabot Tower to see their
signal, but with the high sea running and the small object they did not notice
their plight. Yesterday morning a heavy wind raged outside and the boat was
continually shipping water, it being impossible to keep her face. A heavy sea
was running and every minute threatened to swamp the tiny boat, but Providence
was looking after the missing ones and at 10 o'clock they were gladdened by
the sight of a schooner bearing down on them. Their signals of distress were
seen by the crew of the schooner, which proved to be the Vivian Ruth bound inward
with oil cargo for the Imperial Oil Co. and after skillfully maneuvering the
vessel, the castaways were taken on board. The Captain and crew treated them
with every kindness, providing them with hot food and doing everything possible
under the circumstances. Both men are of the opinion that if they had not been
rescued yesterday morning that their boat could not survived much longer in
the weather that was raging and they are thankful to be on dry land once again.
They both suffered for the want of food and the hardship of being adrift in
an open boat for 60 hours at this season of the year, but last night after having
a much needed rest, they were none the worse for their trying experience.

THIS MORNING'S FIRE AT KING'S ROAD JOHN FRENCH, WELL KNOWN CITIZEN,
ALMOST BURNED TO DEATH
John FRENCH, well known as a nautical instructor, and son of the late Capt. J. FRENCH was
almost burnt to death at his home, 32 King's Road at 1 o'clock
this morning. His condition was so bad when rescued from the dwelling that
Priest had to be called to offer spiritual help and also a medical doctor.
At 1.30 Mr. FRENCH was conveyed to the General Hospital in the ambulance
and at press hour the News was informed that his recovery was very doubtful.
From what can be learned it appears that the old man who had been living alone
in a downstairs flat in King's Road for several years, was lying awake
on the couch reading, a lighted kerosene lamp, resting on a chair close by,
affording light. In an attempt to draw the lamp nearer he capsized it, the
fuel spilling over the scant bed clothing which covered him igniting. The old
gentlemen made an outcry which attracted Mr. Patrick MURRAY who lives in the
flat above. The latter hurried to his assistance and when he forced an entrance
he found FRENCH lying on the floor, his clothing a mass of flame. Murray, as
quickly as he knew how, extinguished the burning clothing and carried the old
gentleman to the hallway. In the meantime several persons who were standing
near the top of King's Road were approached by the noise and hurried
to the scene. Two of the number, Messrs C. BYRNE and C. SPURRELL found the
old gentleman postrate in the hallway and immediately removed him to the water
shed a few yards distance and summoned Rev. Dr. CARTER and Dr. MacPHERSON by
phone, both of whom responded in a few minutes. An alarm had been sent to the
central station in the meantime and the fire apparatus was soon on hand. The
fire however was not of a serious character and was quenched with the aid of
the chemical engine. While the firemen were at work Doctor McPHERSON attended
to the injured man and did all possible to alleviate his suffering while Rev.
Dr. CARTER offered spiritual consolation and prepared him for death. Mr. FRENCH
did not appear to be suffering though he was terribly burned about the abdomen
and legs, scarcely a sign of flesh being left on the bones. He retained consciousness
however while being treated by the doctor and up to the time he was taken into
the ambulance to be conveyed to the hospital, where he now lies in a dying
condition.
The unfortunate man was widely known in the east end of the city and for many
years taught navigation and a general school in that section. In early life
he followed the sea and retired owing to an accident in which he met with serious
bodily injury. For some years, against the wishes of many friends, he has been
living alone, and for more than a year has been practically unable to get about
owing to infirmities, and when the kerosene lamp toppled over this morning
he was unable to save himself.
FOUND DROWNED ON TOPSAIL BEACH
At 9 o'clock Monday night, Miss Emma ALLEN, aged 43 years was found
drowned on Topsail Beach by a search party who sought her after she had been
missing several hours from her home. Deceased had been suffering from violent
headaches for several weeks, and latterly was affected with mental depression.
Monday afternoon at about 4:30, she left her father's home with the intention
of talking a walk along the road. Not returning for supper, enquires were made
at houses nearby but her presence could not be located. A search party was
organized and a search made. About 8:30 the body of the missing woman was found
on the beach about thirty feet east of the public wharf and appeared as if
it had been in the water for some hours. The matter was reported to the police
and yesterday Inspector General HUTCHINGS with detective LEE and Dr. TAIT visited
Topsail to conduct enquires. The authorities are unable to say whether the
woman fell over the public wharf or how the drowning occurred

BLUE PUTTEE RE-UNION
The first Blue Puttee re-union was held at Smithville last evening. Ninety
of the original draft which left by the Florizel on October
4th 1914, sat down
at 8.45 p.m. The gathering was a re-union in the best sense. The absence of
long and tiresome speeches was appreciated by all present. The program had
but two toasts both proposed by the chairman vis "The King" and "Absent
Comrades." The first was honored in the usual way and the response to
the second was by standing to attention for a minute by all present.
The menu was served in the style that the well known hostelry "Smithville" is
famous for, Miss FURLONG and her aids doing everything for the enjoyment of
all present.
Lt.-Col CARTY was chairman, and under his guidance the re-union was carried
through successfully. During the evening he read messages from Lt. Col. PATERSON
and Capt. T. CONNORS, both of whom regretted their enforced absence from the
celebration. After the supper had been thoroughly enjoyed an impromptu concert
followed Songs were rendered by Major MARCH and BUTLER and TAIT. Capts. J.
SNOW and G. G. BYRNE, Lieut. IRVING, Sergt. MORRISSEY, P. O. Mike SMYTH, Tom

OBITUARY
JOHN RYAN
The almost sudden passing of Mr. John RYAN, City Engineer, will
be learnt with deep regret by the whole community. The summons came at 10 o'clock
last night following an operation at the General Hospital which took place
during the forenoon. The operation was successfully conducted and during the
afternoon it looked if the patient would recover. Later compilations set in
and very unexpectedly the end came. Mr. RYAN who was widely known in the city
had just passed his 73rd year and up to a very short time ago enjoyed excellent
health, being able to attend to his duties and be present at Municipal Council.
For more that 35 years he had been attached to the council and had been City
Engineer since 1896 following the death of Engineer HARVEY. Under his superintendence,
the new water system from Windsor Lake was laid and also the new service from
George's Pond .The sewerage service and street construction for the past
quarter of a century has been under his direction, and all at times he gave
his personal attention to the work. Visiting engineers from Canada and the
U.S. brought here for consultation always approved of his opinion, and the
splendid water supply that the city has today was largely brought about through
the effort and recommendations of Mr. RYAN. As an official he stood high in
the estimation of the different Councils under which he served, and his good
work for the city will be a lasting testimonial to his efficiency. Mr. RYAN,
apart from his official duties, was highly esteemed. He was a staunch friend,
firm in conviction, honest, and sincere. His passing severs another link in
the chain, which bound a fellowship of good and true men of the old school
now fast passing away. For many years deceased has been a member of the B.
I. S. in which he held several important offices and was also a member of the
Knight of Columbus. Left to mourn are three sons, William, Assist. City Engineer,
A. J. telegraph operator at Sydney and Stan at home, three daughters Mrs. A.
SULLIVAN and Misses Mary and Hannah, to whom the News extends sympathy.
MRS. MARY GREENE
There passed peacefully away at Placentia, after a brief illness, Mrs.
Mary GREENE, relict of Robert GREENE. By her genial disposition she had won the
friendship of all with whom she had become acquainted. She was a devout catholic,
an ideal mother and sincere friend and her passing is deeply regretted. Deceased
had reached the ripe old age of 85years, and leaves to mourn five daughters,
Mrs. J. T. FLYNN, Mrs. Hugh HARTIGAN, Mrs. Austin COLLINS, Mrs. W. P. MILLER,
Mrs. Patrick J. KEEFE, two sons Michael and William and a number of grand children,
among then Rev. T. J. FLYNN of the city. Funeral took place from her residence
on Wednesday last and was largely attended. R. I.P.

HYMENEAL
CHRISTIAN - PEACH
The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. CHRISTIAN, 86 Pleasant Street was the scene
of a pretty wedding on Monday afternoon, when their daughter Gertrude was united
in the bonds of matrimony to Mr. Frederick T. PEACH of the western Union Cable
Co., Bay Roberts, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. PEACH, "Rural Retreat," Carbonear.
A little after 3.30 to the accompaniment of the wedding march played by her
brother, Mr. Gordon CHRISTIAN, the bride, leaning on the arm of her father,
entered the room where the groom, attended my Mr. W. RODGER and the guests
were assembled. Attractively gowned and carrying a pretty bouquet of white
carnations, the bride was attended by her sister, Miss Bessie CHRISTIAN, with
little Betty CHRISTIAN, her niece, acting as flower girl. After the ceremony
which was performed by the Rev. D. R. HEMMEON, B.A., the pastor of George St.
Church, a social hour was enjoyed and refreshments served following which accompanied
by the heartiest congratulations and best wishes, and amid showers of confetti
, the bride and groom took sleigh for Waterford Bridge where they joined the
train for Holyrood. They return to today and will leave by the Rosalind for
an extended honeymoon trip to the United States. On their return they will
make their home at Bay Roberts. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful
presents, among them one from the choir of George Street Church, of which she
has been an active member, and many messages of congratulations poured in from
friends outside the city. In the chorus of felicitations the News most heartily
joins.
BARTER - BARRETT
A very pretty wedding took place at the Methodist Church, Old Perlican
on
Dec. 16th, when Susie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. BARRETT,
was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. Hubert BARTER, of Bay de Verde,
the ceremony being performed by Rev. F. H. PHILLIPSON. The bride, who was given
away by her father was attired in a dress of blue satin with hat to match and
carried a bouquet of roses, pansies, etc. She was attended by her sister Florence,
and her niece, Miss Violet BURSEY was flower girl, while the groom was supported
by Mr. William RIGGS. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of
bride's parents, where an enjoyable time was spent by friends and relatives.
Next day the happy couple left by train for Bay de Verde where they will reside
in future. The presents received were many and valuable testifying to the esteem
in which both parties were held. We wish Mr. and Mrs. BARTER many years of
happy married life.
