1. Source: Glenboro Gazette, December 29, 1910 They were married on December 20, 1910 JACKSON-ELLWOOD "An interesting matrimonial event took place yesterday (Wednesday) at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F.W. Jackson, when their daughter Lilian (sic) was joined in the bonds of wedlock to George W. Ellwood, of Portage la Prairie,
by the Rev. J.K. Clark, in the presence of a few intimate friends. The happy couple, unattended, entered the drawing room beneath a decorated arch, to the strains of the Wedding March, played by Miss Maud Christie. The bride was handsomely dressed in ivory satin trimmed with silver and pearls. After the ceremony the guests sat down to a very dainty dinner prepared by the bride's mother. The groom's gift to the bride was an amethyst pendant, and numerous other handsome and costly presents showed the esteem in which the young people are held. The bride's travelling costume was heliotrope broadcloth trimmed with black military braid, with picture hat. The couple
left on the evening train for Portage la Prairie, where they will reside."
