PARIS August 16 – Two weddings of interest to Parisians were solemnized by Rev. Mr. Nicholson, Paris, at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Saturday afternoon, when Miss Grace Myers, daughter of the late William Myers, became the bride of Pte. W.A. Richardson, Paris. The bride was gowned in white voile with lace and satin trimmings and large white hat. The groom’s gift to his bride was a handsome locket and chain. After a short trip the groom returned to join his battalion of the overseas forces, leaving his bride in Paris, where she will reside until his return from the front.
