"Springwood", the residence of the brides father, when Mr Henry Drake,
eldest son of E.Drake, "Oak Park", was married to Miss Martha Richards,
fourth daughter of Mr Simon Richards, "Springmount and "Greenmount".
The officiating clergyman was the Rev H.Wiles.
The bride wore a dress of white cashmere,with watered silk trimmings,
tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms. The bridesmaids (Miss Benie
