19	Probably an extract from the Horsham Times, Mar 1907 SOCIAL A wedding which had been looked forward to with no small amount of interest was celebrated on Wednesday February 28, the contracting parties being Leslie William, eldest son of Mr. W.H. Cranage, contractor, of Noradjuha, and Phenie Gertrude, youngest daughter of Cr. A.W. Walter, J.P., of Oakleigh Park Noradjuha. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. T.J. Payne, at the residence of the bride's parents, and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends of both parties. As the bridal party filed into the large dining room, the assembled guests, accompanied by Mrs. Nitschke on the piano, sang two verses of the bridal hymn, "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden." The bride, who was given away by her father, looked most charming in a dress of creme soft silk trimmed with Valenciennes lace and narrow ribbon, and wore the usual wreath and veil, and carried a handsome bouquet. The first bridesmaid, Miss Bertha Walter, sister of the bride, wore a creme crepe de chine dress, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and insertion and carried a bouquet of sunflowers. The second bridesmaid Miss Annie Cranage, sister of the bridegroom was attired in a dress of blue silk, with trimmings of Valenciennes lace and insertion and carried a bouquet of Carter's dahlias. The bridegroom had for best man, Mr. S.A. Walter, brother of the bride, and Mr. Sam Cranage brother of the bridegroom acted as groomsman. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a gold opal ring, and to the bridesmaids, gold initial rings, while the bride's gift to the bridegroom was a pair of gold sleeve links. On the conclusion of the ceremony the whole party adjourned to a spacious outbuilding which was very tastefully decorated with ever-greens and flags, where a sumptuous breakfast, prepared by Mr. McCracken, caterer of Horsham, was laid out. After full justice had been done to the good things provided, the chairman Rev. T.J. Payne proposed the toast of the bride and bridegroom, and referred to the fact that both being local residents were well-known and were highly respected by everybody, and he was extremely glad to know they intended to reside in the district. He desired on behalf of the adherents of the local Methodist Church, to make them a presentation, and handed them a beautiful silver hot water kettle on stand and inscribed "Presented to Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Cranage, on the occasion of their marriage, by the adherents of the Methodist Church, Noradjuha, 27th. February 1907." The presentation was accompanied by the following letter:- ... The accompanying slight memento is presented to you on your wedding day in appreciation of many kindly services rendered to the Methodist Church and Sunday school at Noradjuha. The congregation takes this opportunity of thanking you for your unvarying interest in the welfare of the church, and unites in the wish that happiness and prosperity may attend your married life, and that God's blessing may ever rest on your home. Signed for the congregation, T.J. Payne, pastor; Flora A. Payne, Superintendent Sunday school; A.A. Burgess, secretary; W.J. Treadwell, trustee." The bridegroom returned thanks in a neat speech, and thanked the chairman for his kind remarks and his friends for the hearty manner they had received the toast. He desired to especially thank them for their handsome present, and the accompanying letter, which, though quite unexpected, was very much appreciated. Other toasts were "Bridesmaids" by Mr. J. Gillick junr., replied to by Mr. S. Walter and Mr. S. Cranage; "Parents" by Mr. Jas Treadwell, response by Mr. A.W. Walter and Mr. W.H. Cranage; "Ladies" by Mr. J.A. Walter, reply by Mr. E.W. Heard; "Caterer" by Mr. W.J. Treadwell, replied to by Mr. C. McCracken. At the conclusion of the wedding breakfast, outdoor games including tennis, were indulged in, and were kept merrily going until 8 o'clock when an adjournment was made to the dining room where several hours were spent in playing parlor games, bagatelle etc., interspersed with music and singing. A very large number of handsome and valuable presents, including cheques aggregating 100 pounds were received and were shown in the drawing room. The bride and bridegroom left at 12 o'clock to catch the express at Horsham, en route for Melbourne. The bride's travelling dress being navy blue poplin with trimmings of creme silk and lace, small vest of pale blue with medallions. Hat of white lace straw trimmed with white tulle and feathers. Missing words shown thus ... due to very poor copy of the original. Note: The first date February 28 should read February 27.	Family: F91
20	Richard and Ann WALTER came to Canada West, (Upper Canada) against the wishes of their families in England. Ann's brother Able MOORE, had earlier immigrated to Canada and had cleared land and built a home on land granted to him in Alma, Pilkington Township, Wellington County, Canada West. Encouraged by his success and others praising the opportunities low cost and abundant farmland, they decided to leave England and together with their four children they sailed from Plymouth on April 14th., 1857 on board the ship, 'Gipsy Queen'. Recent information has come to light that Richard's 2nd. cousin Mary and her husband, John MAY were passengers on the 'Gipsy Queen' at the same crossing. They were on their way to Goderich to take up farming in Goderich, where Mary's older brother Charles WALTER, had previously come to live. Ship arrival records indicate that the 'Gipsy Queen' did not arrive at Quebec City until the 2nd. of June 1857. There is no record of the ship being quarantined or docking at any other port, so they must have been on board for 47 days. This crossing obviously took an unexpected length of time because the 'Gipsy Queen' was scheduled to be back at Plymouth on the 12th. of June. It is quite likely that they were not prepared for the cold of the North Atlantic or the unexpected length of time that it took to make the trip. Records indicate that the weather conditions in the North Atlantic caused many delays because of ice, fog and rough water. It is speculated that these conditions, combined with an outbreak of scarlet fever, caused the death of their youngest child Ann, who was buried at sea off the cost of Newfoundland on the 15th. of May. Charles E. WALTER is quoted stating that "they were only one day sailing from sight of land when his baby sister died". The family spent the first year with Ann's brother Abel MOORE, who had earlier came to Canada and owned a farm near Alma in Wellington County, Ontario. The following spring they purchased a one hundred-acre lot with a house and barn. This property was located, in Townsend, Norfolk, north of Talbot Road near the source of Black Creek, 5 miles west of Jarvis. They had sailed from England aboard the 'Gypsy Queen' with a member of the IVEY family and it is believed, that they became friends and maintained correspondence after they arrived in Canada. The IVEY family owned a farm on the Talbot Road, (later known as # 3 Hwy.) near Jarvis, which seems likely to have been the reason that Richard decided to live in this area. It took all of Richard and Ann's resources to finance the purchase of this property and when winter came they ran out of money and food. Payments for the farm were due, so they wrote to the family in England and asked for help but the urgency of the request was ignored. Richard's parents returned a letter which offered only this popular advice, "Don't grab a bull by the horns unless you can hold him." It is not clear, if this was in retaliation for Richard leaving home against his parent's advice but they definitely misunderstood the seriousness of the request because they were in danger of losing the farm. It was Easter Sunday when John IVEY came to call on them and discovered their desperate situation. He returned the following day to bring food and informed them that he had personally, guaranteed the loan against their property. A second letter was sent to the WALTER family in England explaining the severity of the situation. Money was eventually sent, but that appears to be the last correspondence they had with Richard's parents. Apparently, they believed that anyone with that amount of low cost, good farm land should become wealthy if they applied themselves to farming. They couldn't understand how anybody could be hungry, living on a one hundred-acre property. Charles E. WALTER is quoted as stating, "on the day John IVEY came to visit them, the only food they had left was three potatoes." John IVEY's family later moved to Port Dover and began a green house business, growing and marketing roses. Ivey's Roses, became a successful company that survived until 1992. With financial assistance from the family in England and a loan guaranteed by John IVEY, Richard and Ann managed to plant grain and in the summer of 1859 and they harvested a good crop. After four or five years of successful farming they were able to repay their debts and decided to relocate to a larger property. In 1864 they sold that farm and purchased a one hundred and fifty-acre parcel of land approximately three km., east of Jarvis on the south side of the Talbot Road (#3 Hwy.). It was recorded that they paid $3,600 for the farm which they called "Elm Grove Farm". They lived there until Richard died and their youngest daughter Clara, and son-in-law James DAVIDSON, purchased the farm. The house was enlarged in 1913 and is still there as of this date in 2010, although the barn is gone and power lines from the Nanticoke power plant occupy some of the original property. The last member of the family to live in Elm Grove Farm was Charles E. DAVIDSON who died in 1966.

24	The Horsham Times, 7 Feb 1905 SOCIAL A marriage of more than passing interest was celebrated on the 1st. inst. at "Fernleigh" (writes our Noradjuha correspondent) Noradjuha, the residence of the bride's uncles, Messrs. Symons Bros. The contracting parties were Mr. Fred Walter, fifth son of Mr. A.W. Walter, J.P., of "Oakleigh", and Eva, eldest daughter of Mr. Geo. Hill, of Noradjuha. Both families have for many years been settled in the Noradjuha district, each being well known and highly respected amongst a wide circle of friends. The bridegroom, by his abilities and willingness to assist in all matters of local interest, has proved himself a most useful and valuable member of the community; and as his marriage means departure, he will be very much missed. The local Methodist Church, of which he has been secretary and choir leader for a number of years, will especially miss his help. Of the bride, it is a high tribute to say that she has inherited the qualities of her highly respected parents; and as a most estimable young lady, .... a position she is well qualified to occupy. The Rev. W. Davey performed the ceremony, and the bridegroom was attended by Mr. S. Walter and Mr. L. Hill. The bride was handsomely gowned in creme crepe de chine bodice with tucked chiffon yoke and insertion with goffered chiffon frill; full sleeves, with lace cuff and frill of goffered chiffon falling from the elbow, finished with silk belt. The skirt shirred at the waist with deep tucked frill and insertion, court train, and usual wreath and veil, and handsome shower bouquet. The bridesmaids were Miss Lily Hill and Miss Phenie Walter. The former was frocked in a tussore silk trimmed with insertion and medallions, and brown velvet belt. The latter wore a cream taffeta skirt and Japanese silk blouse, with lace and frills as trimming, and black velvet streamers. They carried bouquets of pink and white roses and asparagus fern. The brides going away dress was a French grey cashmere, prettily made with yoke of white lace, and net frill edged with insertion, bodice finished with black ribbon velvet streamers; black picture hat. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and useful presents, including number of cheques. After the wedding breakfast, at which the usual toasts were proposed and honoured, the newly - married pair left for Horsham, en route for Adelaide, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mr. and Mrs. Walter have been asked by their friends to spend a couple of days at Noradjuha on their return, after which they will proceed to their future home at Heathfield in the Casterton district.
