DAVID WILSON ELDER
Notice of marriage
The Orillia Packet, May 21, 1914- St. James church was the scene of a pretty wedding at 2 o'clock on Thursday, May 14th, when Mabel Louise, daughter of the late Richard Rix and Mrs. Rix was united in bonds of Holy Matrimony to David Wilson, son of Mr. David Elder of Rathburn. The Rev. J.R.S. Boyd officiated. The church was beautifully decorated with white lilies and ferns. The bride, who was unattended and was given away by her mother, wore a gown of white charmeause, with veil and orange blossoms, carrying a shower bouquet of roses and lily of the valley. She also wore a sunburst of pearls, the gift of the groom. The ushers were Mr. Mortimer Tupling and Mrs. Edward Elder. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents, among which were a cut glass fern bowl from teachers and officers of St. James's Sunday school; a silver tray from the Girls' Auxiliary; a silver fern pot from the Flower Mission, a cut glass bon-bon dish from the members of her Sunday school class, a handsome cabinet of silver from Mr. and Mrs. S.L. Mullett and family; a silver pudding dish, chimes clock, and cut glass berry bowl, from the employees of the Orillia Hardware Co., where the groom has filled the position of book-keeper for the last few years. After the ceremony about forty guests repaired to the home of the bride's mother, where a reception was held and a dainty buffet luncheon served. Amid showers of confetti and good wishes the bride and groom left on the 4:28 train for Toronto, Detroit, and other American cities, the bride travelling in a smartly tailored suit of brown whipcord, with hat to match. On their return, Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Elder will reside at 19 Front street, North.
The Orillia Packet & Times, Dec 2, 1937 - Death
Many from far and near crowded St. Paul's United Church on Monday afternoon to pay their last respects to Mr. Wilson Elder, who, besides being secretary treasurer and a member of the firm of the Orillia Hardware Company since 1915, had also been one of the elders of St. Paul's church and a member of the Masonic Lodge. Mr. Elder, who was a son of Mrs. D.W. Elder and the late Mr. Elder, of Fairvalley, Mara, came to Orillia in 1907, as bookkeeper for Mr. S. Mullett of the Orillia Hardware Co. Of a quiet and retiring nature, Mr. Elder was liked by all with whom he came in contact and his death will leave a vacancy in the work of the United church which will be difficult to fill. Besides being an elder in the church, Mr. Elder taught a young boys class for a time and had held the position of treasurer of the Sunday school. His death, which occurred at his home on Friday, culminated a sickness of nearly two years' duration, a sickness which he bore with patience and a smile. Born at Fairvalley on May 4, 1887, in May of 1914 Mr. Elder married Miss Mabel L. Rix, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rix, and all of their married life was spent in their home on Front street. Besides his wife, who is left to mourn the loss of a loving husband, there also remain his mother, at the family home at Fairvalley, and six brothers and three sisters, Edward, Gordon and Stanley Elder, at Fairvalley, George Elder, of Orillia, James Elder of Vancouver, B.C., Robert Elder, of Hamilton, Miss Jessie Elder, at home, Mrs. Geo. Gresswell (Theresa), of Toronto, and Mrs. James Read (Kathleen) of Whitby. The funeral, which was under Masonic auspices, was held from the United church on Monday afternoon. The first part of the service was taken by the Rev. W.E. Baker, minister of the church, and Mrs. F. Pilgrim sang the fitting and beautiful hymn, "Peace, Perfect Peace." Members of the choir were present and the Official Board of the church attended in a body. The latter part of the service and the service at the cemetery was taken by members of the Masonic lodge. The pallbearers were Messrs. W.B. Wright, Ernest Nelson, R.C. Collins, Alex MacKenzie, William Calvert and Dr. W.H. Hunter. Honorary pallbearers, members of the staff of the Orillia Hardware, who were Messrs. Jack Ansdell, Charles Went, William Foster, C. Wigg, William Lamb and Alex Ramsay, preceded the casket from the church. Many and beautiful were the floral tributes. Among the wreathes and sprays were those from the Official Board of St. Paul's church, St. Paul's Sunday school Teachers and Officers, Atherley United church, Evening Branch of St. James's W.A., King's Daughters Class of St. Paul's church, Orillia Hardware Company, the staff of the Orillia Hardware, Royal Oak Petroleum Co., the Masonic Lodge, T.B. Cramp Limited, General Steel Wares, Limited, and officer and salesmen of United Cigar stores, Hamilton. Among the many who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. L.R. Rix, Miss Helen Rix, Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Rix, Miss Betty Rix, Mrs. J. Godwin, Mr. and Mrs. George Gresswell and family, and Miss Louise Read, of Toronto; Miss L.
