TENCH-ALLEN

[Welland Tribune, 10 July 1885]

             Mr. W.J. Tench, purchasing agent of the D.M & M. road, has gone and got married to the belle of Chippawa, Canada, without giving the dear public a chance to gossip about it beforehand. On Sunday, a week ago, Mr. Tench, after informing a few immediate friends of his intention, quietly “lit out” for Her Majesty’s American dominion, and, on Wednesday following, in the presence of a few relatives and intimate friends, was united in marriage to Miss Nellie Allen, of Chippawa, a granddaughter of the late Lieut. Geo. John Murray, K.C.B., Governor of Demerara, etc., and will bring his charming bride home to Marquette on the Nysak which arrived at 11 o’clock this evening. The Mining Journal announces the hour in order that any friends who wish can meet the bridal party on their arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Tench are tendered the hearty congratulations of the Mining Journal staff and sincere wishes for a long and happy future. May the honeymoon always be at full and never set.-Marquette (Mich.) Mining Journal.

 Married: 24 June 1885
