Provision for these was made some years ago by the Waterloo Wellington branch of the Ontario Genealgical Society. The marriage notice appears in the 11th April, 1861, edition of the Berliner Journal and tells that Ward Hamilton Bowlby, who holds an M.A. and is an advocate of the newspaper, married Lissie Hespeler, the oldest daughter of Jakob Hespeler, at the home of the bride's father in Hespeler. The marriage was conducted by Rev. E. R. Stimson. |
