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.

floral bell. The bride looked the picture of loveliness and was attired in cream
satin, trimmed with pearls, with the time-honoured veil en train and carried a

beautiful and accomplished young lady, a cousin of the bride. She was
becomingly dressed in cream poplin, trimmed with pearls, and carried a bouquet
of pink carnations. B. Smith was best man. The ceremony over, congratulations
the next in order, and were showered upon the newly-wedded couple, both of whom
are very popular. The wedding feast was then served, 100 relatives and friends

and lavishly spread in the basement, where the multitudinous host were

mortal and perishable frame, the company amalgamated in bulk in spirit in the
parlour, where a
profitable and pleasing program was enacted.

feature of the program was inspirational music of the Ollie Orchestra,
superintended by Prof. W. Camp of Smithville. In the course of the program R.A.
Shepard, formerly a political aspirant, spoke oratorically upon Historical
Researches, and Sociology.
In the course of time, the bride

ability of high accomplishment, organist in the Abingdon Baptist church, and
zealous church worker. The groom is a young man of superior integrity and
industry, of bright social qualities, and ranks as one of the successful
agriculturists of this present epoch.
The presents were voluminous select
and costly, betokening the highest esteem in which the bride was held. The
