SHEATHER-JONES.

A pretty wedding was celebrated at the Wesleyan Church on Wednesday last, the participating parties being Mr. Herbert Joseph, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Sheather, of Sydney, the Miss Hannah Grace, third daughter of Mr and Mrs Joseph Jones, of Adjungbilly, Rev H Skuse being the celebrant.  The bride (who was given away by her father) was dressed in white voile with hand-embroidered net overdress, hat en suite.  She wore a gold brooch with a neck chain and cross and carried a boquet of orange blossoms (the gifts of the bridegroom).  Miss Lily Jones (sister of the bride) and Miss Emily Marsh ( cousin of the bride) were the bridesmaids, both gowned in white muslin trimmed with embroidery, with white silk hats en suite, and both wore gold brooches (gifts of the bridegroom).  Mr. Albert Woods capably filled the role of best man.  The ceremony over, the company adjourned to the Oddfellows' Hall where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was provided.  Rev. H. Skuse occupied the chair, and after justice had been done to the good things provided, proposed the toast of the 'Bride and Bridegroom' in a happy speech.  The bridegroom suitably responded and proposed the toast of the 'Bridesmaids', Mr. A. Woods responding.  Rev. H. Skuse then proposed the health of the 'Parents of the Bride and Bridegroom' Mr. J. Jones responding.  The bride's travelling dress was of blue navy serge with Oriental trimmings, hat to match.  She wore a sealskin muff and fur (the gift of the bridegroom).  Numerous and costly were the presents they received.  The happy fair left, amid showers of rice and confeti, by the train en route for Albury, where the honeymoon is to be spent.  We wish our young friends health, wealth and prosperity in the future.  Their home will be Cootamundra.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more. Those poor babies! One of the girls was found still clasping her doll that she had carried with her over the whole tragic journey. When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came across a very sad he
