WEDDING OF MR W.P. OLIVER TO MISS A.I. SCHRUTH
1907B/W Print. Studio portrait of wedding group consisting of bride, bridegroom, four bridesmaids and groomsmen in typical pose with bridegroom seated and bride standing to better display dress. Men are all in dark three piece suits (except for groom who wears a light double-breasted waistcoat) high collared white shirts and white bow ties. The bride wears a high-necked, long-sleeved, long frock falling in soft folds, a long veil caught with a floral arrangement and she is holding a large bouquet. The bridesmaids are wearing frocks of the same style but slightly different patterns (the one on the left appears to wear a shorter version and may be younger).Their hats are the extravagantly large ones of the era - three trimmed with feathers, one with fruit. They are holding 'shepherds' crooks' to which bouquets are attached.
William Percival Oliver Married Amanda Ida (known as Ida) Schruth 1907. Took over father's tailoring business in partnership with brother, Bert.
