MS248 reel 17, Vol. 82, page 131 Wentworth County Marriage Register Extracted from a list of marriages performed by Rev. J. B. Geddes for the year of 1864. William, 24, born Germany, residing Beverly. Parents Wm. & Eliz. Richter. Delia, 23, born and residing Beverly, Parents Lewis and Asenath Wood. Witnesses John Stevens and Chas. J. Locken, both of Hamilton. On Jany. 20, 1864. County marriage registrations typically do not provide the exact location of a given marriage. Rev. Geddes, however, was the rector of Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton and the witnesses are both of Hamilton. This has the earmarks of an elopement. Neither bride nor groom are Anglican, but, for whatever reason, were married by an Anglican clergyman, probably in Hamilton. |
| Death | She died on 17 June 1880 at Beverly Township, Wentworth Co.. |
| Burial | She was buried at St. George Cemetery, South Dumfries Twp.. |
| Note | Death reg. 018342-80 Beverly Twp., Wentworth Co. Adelia Reichter died 17 June, 1880. Wife of Wm. Reichter. Age 39, born Ontario, Methodist. Physician and informant Dr. Patten of St. George, Co. Brant. St. George Cemetery was transcribed by the Brant County branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. The available update of this transcription is dated 2007, though it was apparently done in earlier years. This tells that Adelia's stone was partly buried and nearly unreadable in 2007 and the available readable information is that she was the wife of William Richter. Her stone, however, is immediately next to that of her parents, Lewis and Asenath Wood, both of whom were living at the time of Adelia's death. |
