  • 29 Apr 1893: WEDDING AT STONY-PARK. CHIRNSIDE—SUMNER.
    By QUEEN BEE.
    The wedding which was solemnised at Brunswick on Wednesday, April 26, between Mr. Andrew Spencer Chirnside, eldest son of the late Mr. Andrew Chirnside and Mrs. Chirnside, of Werribee-park, and Miss Winifred Grice Sumner, youngest daughter of the late Mr. T. J. Sumner and Mrs. Sumner, of Stony-park, Brunswick, naturally created a great deal of interest among the friends of both families and in the suburb, where the bride has lived all her life. The ceremony was performed in Christ Church, the oldest church in the district, where all the sisters of the bride who preceded her to the altar were married. Seldom has there been a prettier or better arranged wedding than that under notice. The interior of the building was a bower of white flowers from end to end. The chancel was almost hidden by a high trelliswork of white blossoms, suspended from the top of which were large balls of white chrysanthemums tied with long white satin ribbon streamers.
    Every eye caught sight of the device giving the initials of the bride and bridegroom—" W." and "A." The reading-desk, the pulpit, and the altar table were covered with white chrysanthemums. In the corners were tall tree palms, and down the whole length of the church were stretched garlands of greenery and white blooms. The service was conducted by the Rev. C. P. M. Barden, B. A., assisted by Archdeacon Stretch, M.A. When the bride arrived the scene was brilliant, and the altar lamps being lit, added much to the general effect.
    The service was choral, the bride being preceded up the aisle by the choir singing the processional hymn commencing " Now thank we all our God, with heart, and hands, and voices." Mr. James Grice (the bride's brother-in-law) led her to the chancel, where her mother gave her away. She made a charming bride, wearing an exquisite gown of rich white duchesse satin, made in the moditied Empire style, with skirt and sleeves embroidered in fine pearls, the design being true lovers' knots. The court train which fell from the shoulders was of rich broche, edged with chiffon. A pelerine of mousseline de chiffon fell softly over the shoulders. In the hair was worn a very small cluster of orange flowers and myrtle fastened by a diamond spray, the gift of the bridegroom, and over this fell a perfectly-arranged tulle veil. She carried a shower bouquet of orchids and eucharis lilies falling to the hem of her gown, and tied with white satin ribbon streamers. The train was carried by Master Ryan (son of Dr. Charles Ryan), who was a picture in his page costume of white satin, with Charles I. cape of white lined with Mandarin satin, lace ruffles, and white felt hat with long white feathers. The bridesmaids were Miss Turnbull, Miss Chirnside, Miss Ethel Fitzgerald, and Miss Armytage, who all looked remarkably well in perfect gowns of rich white duchesse satin, made in a very pretty modilied 1830 style. The skirts were finished with three ruches of tulle illusion. The sleeves and sashes were of Mandarin-coloured satin duchesse. Honiton point lace ruffles and cravats made a rich finish. Their large picture hats of black velvet were trimmed with black feathers, and round the crown was a band of Mandarin velvet. Each maid carried an Empire staff draped with shades of gold warm-red chrysanthemums, exquisite autumn foliage, and tinted fern. Three little girls completed a most picturesque group. They were Miss Ivy Chirnside, Miss Nancy Grice, and Miss Doris Osborne, perfectly dressed in Empire frocks of white satin with lace pelerines and ruffles ; white Empire hoods, with ruches of lace. They also carried white staffs decorated with white roses, gardenias, jessamine, and all the choicest white flowers in season. The best man was Mr. Ernest de Little.
    After the ceremony Mrs. Sumner held a reception in the large hall at Stony-park, out of which the guests passed into the drawing-room to congratulate the bride and bridegroom. After the bridal party had been photographed a move was made to a marquee, where breakfast was served. The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Rev. C. P. M. Harden. The bridegroom responded, and proposed the bridesmaids, for whom Mr. de Little replied. The bride and bridegroom left Stony-park at about 5 o'clock in a shower of rice, her going away gown being a very smart one of brown bengaline cloth trimmed with sable-tail fur and heliotrope velvet ; brown velvet hat trimmed with sable tails.
    Mrs. Sumner wore a very becoming gown of petunia brocade finished with a petticoat panel of embroidery ; velvet Marie Stuart bonnet in the same colour as the gown trimmed with feather tips. Her shower bouquet was in harmony with the colouring of her dress, and consisted of mauve orchids and ferns. Much regret was felt by all present at the absence of Mrs. Andrew Chirnside (mother of the bridegroom), who is still too ill to take a journey to town from Werribee-park. The company included Lady Clarke, Miss Mary Clarke. Dr. and Mrs. Charles Ryan, Lady Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. James Grice, Mr. and Mrs. John Grice, Mr. and Mrs. James Osborne, Mrs. Rupert Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Nash.

    The trousseau, which was an extensive and beautiful one, included two perfect tea gowns, one was black broché, with mirror velvet sleeves and sash, jet yoke and point lace Anne of Austria collar. Another rich gown of Oriental broché was made in the Empire style, trimmed with rose pink velvet and Venetian point lace. The wedding dress, travelling dress, visiting and evening gowns, and all the costumes of the bridesmaides, and many of the guests, were designed and executed by Mrs. Eeles, of Grosvenor-chambers, Collins-street east.
    The flowers, which were most artistically arranged, were supplied by " Ronalds," ofSwanston-street, Melbourne.

  • 29 Apr 1893: WEDDING AT STONY-PARK. CHIRNSIDE—SUMNER.
    By QUEEN BEE.
    The wedding which was solemnised at Brunswick on Wednesday, April 26, between Mr. Andrew Spencer Chirnside, eldest son of the late Mr. Andrew Chirnside and Mrs. Chirnside, of Werribee-park, and Miss Winifred Grice Sumner, youngest daughter of the late Mr. T. J. Sumner and Mrs. Sumner, of Stony-park, Brunswick, naturally created a great deal of interest among the friends of both families and in the suburb, where the bride has lived all her life. The ceremony was performed in Christ Church, the oldest church in the district, where all the sisters of the bride who preceded her to the altar were married. Seldom has there been a prettier or better arranged wedding than that under notice. The interior of the building was a bower of white flowers from end to end. The chancel was almost hidden by a high trelliswork of white blossoms, suspended from the top of which were large balls of white chrysanthemums tied with long white satin ribbon streamers.
    Every eye caught sight of the device giving the initials of the bride and bridegroom—" W." and "A." The reading-desk, the pulpit, and the altar table were covered with white chrysanthemums. In the corners were tall tree palms, and down the whole length of the church were stretched garlands of greenery and white blooms. The service was conducted by the Rev. C. P. M. Barden, B. A., assisted by Archdeacon Stretch, M.A. When the bride arrived the scene was brilliant, and the altar lamps being lit, added much to the general effect.
    The service was choral, the bride being preceded up the aisle by the choir singing the processional hymn commencing " Now thank we all our God, with heart, and hands, and voices." Mr. James Grice (the bride's brother-in-law) led her to the chancel, where her mother gave her away. She made a charming bride, wearing an exquisite gown of rich white duchesse satin, made in the moditied Empire style, with skirt and sleeves embroidered in fine pearls, the design being true lovers' knots. The court train which fell from the shoulders was of rich broche, edged with chiffon. A pelerine of mousseline de chiffon fell softly over the shoulders. In the hair was worn a very small cluster of orange flowers and myrtle fastened by a diamond spray, the gift of the bridegroom, and over this fell a perfectly-arranged tulle veil. She carried a shower bouquet of orchids and eucharis lilies falling to the hem of her gown, and tied with white satin ribbon streamers. The train was carried by Master Ryan (son of Dr. Charles Ryan), who was a picture in his page costume of white satin, with Charles I. cape of white lined with Mandarin satin, lace ruffles, and white felt hat with long white feathers. The bridesmaids were Miss Turnbull, Miss Chirnside, Miss Ethel Fitzgerald, and Miss Armytage, who all looked remarkably well in perfect gowns of rich white duchesse satin, made in a very pretty modilied 1830 style. The skirts were finished with three ruches of tulle illusion. The sleeves and sashes were of Mandarin-coloured satin duchesse. Honiton point lace ruffles and cravats made a rich finish. Their large picture hats of black velvet were trimmed with black feathers, and round the crown was a band of Mandarin velvet. Each maid carried an Empire staff draped with shades of gold warm-red chrysanthemums, exquisite autumn foliage, and tinted fern. Three little girls completed a most picturesque group. They were Miss Ivy Chirnside, Miss Nancy Grice, and Miss Doris Osborne, perfectly dressed in Empire frocks of white satin with lace pelerines and ruffles ; white Empire hoods, with ruches of lace. They also carried white staffs decorated with white roses, gardenias, jessamine, and all the choicest white flowers in season. The best man was Mr. Ernest de Little.
    After the ceremony Mrs. Sumner held a reception in the large hall at Stony-park, out of which the guests passed into the drawing-room to congratulate the bride and bridegroom. After the bridal party had been photographed a move was made to a marquee, where breakfast was served. The health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed by the Rev. C. P. M. Harden. The bridegroom responded, and proposed the bridesmaids, for whom Mr. de Little replied. The bride and bridegroom left Stony-park at about 5 o'clock in a shower of rice, her going away gown being a very smart one of brown bengaline cloth trimmed with sable-tail fur and heliotrope velvet ; brown velvet hat trimmed with sable tails.
    Mrs. Sumner wore a very becoming gown of petunia brocade finished with a petticoat panel of embroidery ; velvet Marie Stuart bonnet in the same colour as the gown trimmed with feather tips. Her shower bouquet was in harmony with the colouring of her dress, and consisted of mauve orchids and ferns. Much regret was felt by all present at the absence of Mrs. Andrew Chirnside (mother of the bridegroom), who is still too ill to take a journey to town from Werribee-park. The company included Lady Clarke, Miss Mary Clarke. Dr. and Mrs. Charles Ryan, Lady Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. James Grice, Mr. and Mrs. John Grice, Mr. and Mrs. James Osborne, Mrs. Rupert Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Nash.

Mr. Jack Russell. Mr. Jack Osborne, Mr. Harry Osborne, Mr. Alfred Bright. Mrs. J. L. Currie. Mr. S. Currie. Miss Ethel Fisken. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Armytage, Lieutenant Christian, &c.
    The trousseau, which was an extensive and beautiful one, included two perfect tea gowns, one was black broché, with mirror velvet sleeves and sash, jet yoke and point lace Anne of Austria collar. Another rich gown of Oriental broché was made in the Empire style, trimmed with rose pink velvet and Venetian point lace. The wedding dress, travelling dress, visiting and evening gowns, and all the costumes of the bridesmaides, and many of the guests, were designed and executed by Mrs. Eeles, of Grosvenor-chambers, Collins-street east.
    The flowers, which were most artistically arranged, were supplied by " Ronalds," ofSwanston-street, Melbourne.

  • 16 Dec 1916: NEW BEACONSFIELD-CLYDE ROAD.
    After many years of agitation and largely through the generous consent, of Mr Andrew Chirnside, of Berwick, a through road is now in course of formation connecting Beaconsfield with the Cylde-Berwick-road. Our illustrations depict the formidable bridge now under construction across the Cardinia Creek, close to the railway station at Beaconsfield, to the order of the Berwick shire council by Mr. Jas. Williams, of Fern Tree Gully. This road supplies a long felt want, and makes the Beaconsfield railway station accessible to a considerable number of farmers, who hitherto have had to travel via Berwick. It also opens up several thousand acres of first class agricultural land. The cost of the bridge was liberally subscribed to by local residents, and its accomplishment hastened by the energetic efforts of Cr. G. Martin and Mr. J. J. Ahern, the shire secretary.6
  • 4 Apr 1918: LAND FOR SOLDIERS. Gift by Mr. A. S. Chirnside.
    Mr Andrew S. Chirnside, of Melville Park, Berwick, has offered a poperty comprising 480 acres, about half a mile from the Berwick township, for the settlement of Beaconsfield returned soldiers. An officer from the Closer Settlement Board has inspected the land, and has reported to the Minister for Lands (Mr. Clarke) that the property is a valuable one, being suitable for potatoes and other root crops. "The gift is a most generous one," said Mr. Clarke yesterday. "Water for the land will be supplied from the Mornington and Naval Base scheme, and the property is eminently suitable for the settlement of returned soldiers. Details as to the number of soldiers that the land will accommodate have not yet been gone into.7

  • 13 Apr 1939: Mrs. Montague Cohen
    By the death yesterday of Mrs. Montague Cohen, Melbourne charities have lost a very real and generous worker.
    Her chief interest was the Berry-street Foundling Home and Hospital, with which she was associated for more than forty years. She first joined the committee of the home in 1897. In 1899 she became hon. treasurer, and vice-president in 1913. She was elected president in 1921, a position she held until her death.
    Her enthusiastic interest in the home was shown when, in 1931, at the celebration of her golden wedding, she asked that her friends should, instead of making a present to her and her husband, make a gift for the benefit of the children in the home. In 1934 she gave a donation of £1000 to the endowment fund. She was also a generous supporter of Jewish and other charities. Her only son, Mr. Cohen, M.L.A., is in England.6
