Extract
from Toronto Saturday Night - Saturday 18 January 1896,
page 2:
On
Saturday last St. James' Cathedral was the scene of a wedding which,
from a variety of circumstances, has interested everyone in society.
Then and there did beautiful Miss Bunting leave the ranks of Toronto's
maiden belles, and go to join their already formidable rivals, the
young married women of society. Dr. Henry Brydges Yates, formerly
of Brantford, was the happy man who stole from us one of our most
popular young ladies and has enriched Montreal at the expense of
Toronto. Miss Bunting never looked more lovely than as she came
slowly up the aisle on the arm of her brother, Mr. Willie Bunting.
Her gown was of rich white satin, with brocaded train and veilings
of old Brussels point. She carried a boquet of lilles-of-the-valley,
and her sweet face was partially hidden by a tulle veil. Miss Amy
Riordan, her cousin, and since childhood her constant companion,
was bridesmaid, In opal silk and pink chiffon, with a picture
hat with large plumes. Mr. J. Emsley of Brantford was best man.
Master Arthur Yates, nephew of the groom, and Miss Dorothy Burritt
led the bridal party; Master Yates in page's garb of white satin
and wee Miss Burritt in a frock of delicate lace over silk. Messrs.
E F. Gold of Brantford, George Bunting of Buffalo, Hugh Hartshorne
and R. W. P. Matthews of Toronto were ushers, and the guests many
and smart. Owing to the critical condition of the health 'of the
bride's father, no reception was held, Dr. and Mrs. Yates leaving
immediately for New York. Canon DiMoulin and Rural Dean Mackenzie
of Brantford performed the ceremony. Tte usual bridal gifts were
exceeded in value and number, and the congratulations showered upon
the young couple were all the more fervent that everyone was aware
how soon they would be rendered out of lace by the loss of a parent
dear to the heart of the sweet young bride. In fact, Dr. and Mrs.
Yates were summoned back in a couple of days to a home overshadowed
with sorrow, and the kind sympathies of Toronto are with them in
a marked degree, tempered by the assurance that though the young
matron mourns the loss of a father by whom she was adored as the
only daughter, she has gained a husband whose privilege it is to
shield and comfort her in this unfortunate bereavement.

MISSING,
AND NOW PRISONER.
News
has been received by Major Harman Young, Balgowan, Dorking, that
his youngest son, Lieut. Harry Harman Young, is a prisoner in
a concentration camp at Giessen. The young officer, who was only
22 years of age, was officially reported wounded and missing in
May last, and no further intimation had been received by his parents,
who have naturally been in the greatest anxiety. As a last resource
in August last they communicated with the King of Spain, who now
replies through his secretary as follows: “I am ordered
by His Majesty the King, my august Sovereign, to inform yon that
in accordance with news received from the Spanish Ambassador in
Berlin from the American Ambassador, your son, Lt. Harry Harman
Young, is a prisoner in a camp of concentration established at
Giessen.” Lieut. Harman Young joined the Artists' Rifles
as a private a day or two after the outbreak of war; went out
to FrancE in the course of two or three months, and was rapidly
promoted sergeant, and his abilities and services were further
recognised on May 9th, when he was given a commission in the 3rd
Batt. Royal Fusiliers. He was wounded and reported missing at
the second battle of Ypres.
