A very pretty wedding was celebrated at the Nowra Methodist Church on the 14th January, by the Rev. E. Thomas, when Mr. William Richard Forsyth, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Forsyth, of Budgong, was married to Miss Annie May Goodger, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Goodger, of Cambewarra. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The bride entered the church on the arm of her brother, . Mr. P. Goodger, who grave her away. The bride wore an ankle length frock of ivory crepe de-chene, the beautifully embossed veil was held in place with a coronet of orange blossoms. The bride carried a sheaf of pink and white carnations, snapdragons and asparagus fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Ivy Goodger, cousin of the bride, looked very charming in an ankle length frock of pink georgette with hat to match, and carried a sheaf of pink roses and asparagus fern. The best man was Mr. Jim Forsyth, brother of the bride groom. The reception was held at the Southern Bakery, where the guests were received by the bride and bridegroom's mothers, wearing frocks of crepe-de-chene and carrying posies of red gerberas. The happy couple left for Coffs Harbor, where the honeymoon is being spent. The bride's travelling dress was of navy blue, with coffee trimming, and hat to tone. The presents were numerous,and costly, and included cheques. The Don Dorrigo Gazette and Guy Fawkes Advocate Fri 2 Apr 1954 Page 6 OBITUARY WILLIAM RICHARD FORSYTH (Brother of Mrs. F. Sawtell) The residents of Berry received a severe shock, on Monday, 4th January, when the sad news became circulated of the sudden passing of Mr. William Richard Forsyth, a very well- known and respected citizen of the community. He was only 48 years of age, and it would have been difficult to have found a more healthy looking or robust type of man and consequently his demise was a shock to his many friends. A man of outstanding physique,"Dick," as he was familiarly known to all, was an out standing sportsman, and excelled in wood-chopping in this State for many years, and the three brothers, Jim, Dick and Alf , have figured prominently in competitions throughout the land. Dick has competed successfully at the Sydney Show, while he has many trophies won at country shows and carnivals. He was also a very good member of the Berry A. and H. Association and a valuable steward for the wood-chopping section, where his long experience was a big help to the committee in organising that portion of the annual show. He was very keen on agricultural shows, and though he had resigned from the committee, he was still a keen supporter of the association. He was also a good cricketer and played successfully with Burrier and Berry a few years ago. The very large funeral, which moved from the Berry Methodist Church, which faith he fervently followed, was a striking tribute to the esteem, in which, he was held by all section of the community. He is survived by his sorrowing wife, and one son, Jim and one daughter, Gladys, to whom the deepest sympathy is extended in the loss of a devoted husband and father. He also leaves his mother, and two brothers, Jim (Wollongong) and Alf (Berry), and four sisters, Madge (Mrs. Colgrave, Gladesville) , Edith (Berry), Lily (Mrs. Sawtell, of Dorrigo) and Jean (Mrs. Weir, Berry), to whom we also ex tend our sympathy.
