NELLIGAN-SCHELTER - On Feb. 7th, 1898, at St. Lawrence church, by the Rev. Father Brady, Alexander J. Eldest son of J.B. Nelligan, to Louise, eldest daughter of Frederick Schelter, both of this city.

Residents of the north end were rather surprised this morning to hear the bell in St. Lawrence’s church peal out its loud melodious notes shortly after 7 o’clock, and but few knew that a wedding was taking place in the church, at that early hour. Nevertheless it was so, for Alexander Nelligan,


son of J.B. Nelligan, of the Assessors Dept., was united in matrimony to Miss Louise Schelter, daughter of Fred Schelter, Picton street east. 

To the casual observer, it may seem rather strange that a wedding should be held so early in the morning, but circumstances alter cases. In this case it was particularly necessary that the two should be united as soon after dawn as possible, as Mr. Nelligan was to leave for the Klondike about two hours after the words, making him and the choice of his heart man and wife, had been pronounced. 

According to the rules of the Catholic church, the marriage banns have to be read at three services in the church before the wedding takes place, and in order that this might be accomplished, the banns announcing the Nelligan-Schelter marriage were read in St. Lawrence church three times yesterday. 

The affair was kept very quite, and but few knew of Mr. Nelligan’s approaching marriage until the banns were read. Nevertheless quite a large crowd was at the church this morning to witness the ceremony. As the bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, Mrs. Cochrane, sister of the groom, played the wedding march. The ceremony was then proceeded with, J. Nelligan acting as best man, and Miss Frankie Schelter, assisting the bride. Rev. Father Brady was the officiating clergyman.    

At the conclusion of the service the happy couple and a number of relatives of both were driven to the house of the bride’s father, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served. 

At the station the scene was a pathetic one. Mr. Nelligan is being accompanied by Fred Schelter, a brother of the bride, and as both young men were very popular in the north end, a large circle of friends had gathered at the station to bid them farewell.

Fathers, mothers, sister, and brothers were there, and as the train pulled out many an eye was dimmed with tears. Mrs. Alexander Nelligan accompanied her husband as far as Toronto, where she will bid him au revoir for about two years. J.B. Nelligan and Fred Schelter, the fathers of the two young men, also went to Toronto with their sons.
