Shelburne Free Press - December 21, 1922 - TURNER-BUCHANAN:
A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buchanan, Primrose, on Wednesday, Dec. 13th, at high noon when their youngest daughter, Bertha Eveline, was united in marriage to W. Francis Turner, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Turner of Camilla, by the Rev. W. H. Hartley of Shelburne, under an arch of evergreens and in the presence of about a hundred relatives and friends. The bride entered the drawing room to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march played by her cousin, Miss Rhoda Little of Shelburne, who was beautifully dressed in henna canton crepe. The bride was charmingly gowned in ivory duchess satin and radium lace and tulle veil and wore the gift of the groom, a beautiful wrist watch, and carried a bouquet of carnations and ophelia roses. Miss A. Bertha McGillivary of St. Thomas, cousin of the bride, was bridesmaid and wore robin egg blue satin and cream radium lace. The groom was supported by his cousin, Clifford Christian. During the signing of the register Miss Mabel Elgie sang very sweetly "Answer." After the ceremony all sat down to a sumptuous wedding dinner. The groom's gift to the bridesmaid was an onyx and pearl ring, to the pianist and soloist pearl bar pins and to the groomsman a gold watch chain. The happy couple left from Orangeville amid showers of good wishes and confetti for Toronto and points east. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm near Camilla.

The following poem written by his daughter Flo Erickson:
"DAD"
Our father was a farmer
A wise and gentle man,
A shepherd to his flocks
A husband and a friend.
He loved his God
He loved his land
He loved us everyone,
His chair in empty now
Two in my mind
I see him sitting there
I hear his voice
And feel his touch
And know he's everywhere
Now heaven's gates swing wide
And many welcome him
So farewell, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Frank,
Our loss is heaven's gain
