There were no snowplows at that time and roads kept getting higher and higher with each succeeding• storm. The press of two -score years ago carried the following account of the wedding: Davidson -McCluskey, "A very pleas- ing event took place on Tuesday even- ing, January 30th, 1900, at 5.30 p.m., at the residence of Mr. and, Mrs. Jos- eph McCluskey, Goderich township, when their youngest (laughter, Marg- aret, was united in matrimony to Mr. Robert Davidson, youngest son of 1Vhs. Davidson of Dungannon, and the late Robert Davidson. The bride look- ed particularly charming in a dainty gown of gray lady's cloth, with white 'satin and pearl trimmings. Her sis- ter, Elizabeth, who acted as brides- maid, wore a pretty blue gown with white silk trimmings, The bridegroom was supported by L 13. Augustine, of Dungannon. Following the cere- Imony, which was performed' by Rev,. James Hamilton, B.A., a wedding din- ner was served, the guests numbering about fifty. The 'high esteem in which the bride is held was shown by the many beautiful gifts received by her, among them being a handsome lamp from her day -school pupils, and a file o'clock tea .set from the members of her Sunday school class. She will be greatly missed in the community as she was not only a faithful teach- er but an active worker in all depart- ments of Christian work in connec- tion with the Presbyterian Church ,at Union.
