Marriage Notice .
Provider: Shelburne Free Press, Source Type: Marriage Notice, Date: 29 Sep 1898 Page 5, Column 5-6, Contents:
There are still a few of the boys around town who remember Will Dorrington, who had the face and form of an Apollo and a bass voice that won the hearts of half the girls in the village.
Mr. Dorrington left Shelburne some years ago and was almost forgotten, when last Saturday’s Mail and Empire arrived with the account of his marriage to Miss Janet Algie, daughter of the “Sage of Alton.” The happy couple were united under an arch of roses, surrounded by the elite of the neighborhood, had their photographs taken on the lawn of the Algie mansion, and were the recipients of a congratulatory letter from Col. Robt. Ingersoll conveying the best wishes of himself and family..

Research Notes

Cardwell was the electoral district that included the village of Alton, from 1867 to 1904. It was not a place or town or village. The census was used for two purposes, counting the population and creating a voters list, this is why the name of the electoral district is on the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.
