(Handwritten at the top of the clipping - Sept. 28, 1932.) Married at Marysville The home of Mr. and Mrs. David Bruce was the scene of a pretty wedding when their daughter Frances Margaret, became the bride of John Watt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watt. The bride was becomingly gowned in white georgette, in princess lines with bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and sweet peas. The little Misses Mary Evelyn Bruce, niece of the bride, and Christina Watt, sister of the groom, acted as flower girls, and were dressed in colonial style in pink and blue organdie and carried baskets of pink and white asters. The bride entered the room on the arm of her brother, Clarence Bruce to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, played by Miss Mina White. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. R. MacWilliam, beneath a canopy of white ribbons and white asters. During the signing of the register "O Promise Me" was sung by Miss Daisy Boyce. The dining- room was tastefully decorated in yellow and white. The bride's table was centered with a four tier wedding cake, surrounded by yellow tulle and purple heather and topped with a miniature bride and groom. A buffet lunch was served to about fifty guests. The bride and groom left on a honeymoon trip to Grand Lake and points in Maine. The bride's going away costume was of brown tweed with hat and accessories to match.

A beautiful pounded copper memorial plaque depicting The Last Supper has been presented Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church by L. L. Rye of New York, in memory of his wife Margaret Kelly Rye, who died on Oct. 3rd, 1936. The plaque has been hung on the wall in the chancel at the rear of the Communion Table. The plaque was made by Mr. Rye himself and is an exact reproduction of The Last Supper made from the famous picture by Leonardo de Vinci, 1452-1519, of Florence, Italy. When Mr. Rye completed his work of art he took it home and presented it to his wife, who valued it very highly. Following her death Mr. Rye had an inscription plate made and then forwarded the plaque to Saint Andrew's Church where Mrs. Rye was choir leader following church union and active in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church both before and after union. The plate bears the following inscription: "Presented to Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Fredericton, N. B., by L. L. Rye, of New York, in loving memory of his wife, Margaret Kelly Rye, Oct. 3rd, 1936." Mrs. Rye, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Kelly, will be remembered by many and the gift in her memory has been graciously accepted by Saint Andrew's Church.
