1927 Nov 29 Argus: WEDDINGS KNIGHT-BUTLER.
A wedding was celebrated at All Saints' Church, Singleton, on the 23rd November by Rev. H. Linton, when Ethel Bertha, second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs J. W. Butler, of Vere, was married to Leslie, second eldest son of Mr and Mrs J. F. Knight, of Broke. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, was gowned in a pretty little frock of ivory crepe de chine with silver trimmings, and a cut tulle veil with a coronet of orange blossoms and silver shoes to tone. Misses Verlie Butler and Gladys Knight, sister of the bride and bridegroom respectively, were bridesmaids, and wore rose pink and powder blue crepe de chine with hats to tone. Mr John Knight acted as best man, and Mr Percy Butler as groomsman. Afterwards a reception was held at the "Concord" Cafe, where about thirty guests were present. The presents were numerous, including several cheques
