WOODS-JONES.


On Wednesday last a wedding was celebrated at All Saints' Church, Rev. C.E. Burgess being the celebrant.  The contracting parties were Mr. Albert Woods, second son of the late Thomas Woods, of Tomorroma, and Miss Amy Jones, second eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Jones, of Adjungbilly.  The bride's dress was of cream serge cashmere, hat ensuite.  The bridesmaids were Miss Woods (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss Grace Jones (sister of the bride) ; they were attired in dark costumes.  The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her away.  Mr George T Woods filled the role of best man.  The ceremony over, the happy pair received the congratulations of their friends, and an adjournment was made to the residence of Mrs Bell (cousin of the bridegroom), whither they were conveyed by motor, where the wedding breakfast was held.  The table was laden with luxuries of the choicest description, and the way they disappeared showed the appreciation of their quality.  Mr J Jones occupied the chair, and, in a neat speech, proposed the toast of the bride and bridegroom, which was most enthusiastically received.  The bridegroom returned thanks, and concluded by proposing the toast of the bridesmaids.  Mr Frederick Buckley responded on their behalf, and the company then dispersed.  The bridal pair left per train for Temora, where the honeymoon will be spent.  We tender them our best wishes for a happy and prosperous future.

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 a...
