Shared note

Christine Simpson (granddaughter of Mabel Prouse Goldsmith) remembers that the children in her part of the family remember Nessie as the "Lolly Lady" because she had a large container of lollies near the door that she would offer to them.

Averil Jarlov remembers the lollies, as well.

Shared note

In 1912 Nessie received a 1st class year end certificate from Levin District High School for being present every day throughout the year.

Shared note

From Averil Jarlov

When they visited Alan and Nessie on the way to Wellington, the kids would always get lemonade and Malopuffs, which was really amazing to them.

A marriage which caused much local interest was that of Miss Agnes Margaret Williamson, daughter of Mrs. M. A. Williamson, of Levin, to Mr. Richard Allan Prouse, only son of Mrs. R. Prouse, of Weraroa. The ceremony took place at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Levin, which was charmingly decorated for the occasion. The Rev. R. Crockett performed the ceremony, and Mrs. T. Devine played the Wedding March. The bride was in a handsome gown of ivory georgette, with flared flounce of silver lace, and court train of charmeuse, lined with cyclamen georgette. The beautiful bridal veil was embroidered in silver and worn with orange blossom. She carried a shower bouquet and was presented with a horseshoe by little Peggy Fraser. Miss E. Walton as bridesmaid, wore a smart frock of petunia georgette with a flared skirt, the low waistline being embroidered in gold. The headdress was a gold tissue swathe, and the bouquet was of daisies and heather. The bridegroom's present to her was a parl ring. Chrystabel Nation was train-bearer, in a dainty frock of peach crepe-de-chine, with godets of deep cream Valenciennes lace, her headdress being of pleated peach tulle with ribbon streamers. She also wore a gold armlet, the gift of the bridegroom, and carried a basket of gerberas and roses. Mr. L. Williamson was the best man. The reception was held at the Century Hall, when there were many guests. The bride's travelling costume was an ensemble suit of blue face cloth, the under frock being of shaded georgette, and a hat to match was worn. She also wore a marmot fur coat, the gift of tho bridegroom.
