From The Geraldton Express newspaper, Wednesday 10 April 1907:
Local and General
"A correspondent writes: A very pretty wedding was solemnised at the residence of Mr. Edward Dodd, at Arrino, on the 28th ult., the Rev. Mr Armstrong officiating. The contracting parties were Mr. Charles Campbell, farmer, of Muggawa, and "Jinnie," his late housekeeper. Invitations were sent to all the residents of Arrino, who, to show their appreciation of such courtesy, attended en masse. Games and dancing were indulged in until the early hours of the following morning, when, after wishing the bride and bridegroom long life, happiness and prosperity, the pleasant gathering terminated."
