The grooms present to the bride was a gold watch and chain, to the bridesmaid a ring and the ring bearer a locket and chain. Among the number of handsome presents was a large rocker from the Wilmot Sunday School and some valuable dishes from the Wilmot Club and a nice assortment of silverware, china etc. from a large number of invited guests present.
