Robinson – Oickle
A very pretty wedding took
place last Saturday at the home of the officiating
clergyman, Rev. Henry R. Boyer, 86 North street, when Nina Jean Oickle became
the bride of George Alfred Robinson.
Both bride and groom are well known in this city. The bride, who is a native of Bridgewater,
has been for some years a valued member of the staff of Moirs, Ltd., and Mr.
Robinson, a popular salesman for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The wedding, a quiet one, was
attended by several close friends. Miss
Crooks, a personal friend and co-worker of the bride, was bridesmaid and F.
R. Zwicker, of H. M. S. Dockyard, groomsman.
The bride, who was dressed in
a tailored traveling suit of navy tricotine, with black picture hat trimmed
with alluring touches of soft dove grey, and a stole, also of grey, presented a
charming appearance. Both the bride and
bridesmaid carried bouquets of amber roses and carnations.
Immediately after the ceremony
the happy couple left for the former home of the groom at Walton, Hants county,
for a brief honeymoon. A large party of
friends accompanied them to the train.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson will
reside at 97 Charles Street.
[1] The
“Miss Crooks” in this Halifax wedding announcement is Clare; she underlined her
name in pen. She also wrote “1923” at the top of the article. She apparently
added this clipping years after the fact; we have already established that earlier
pages of her book date to 1925. This document is important because it shows
Clare was living in Halifax and working at Moirs (a candy manufacturer) at age
21.
