This invoice is for material and sundries to dress Marion's wedding party. Norman also spent 6.65 on a wedding cake. That's about it. The Nicholsons were broke and Marion had used her savings to help keep the house from brother Herb's creditors. Hugh's parents didn't attend the wedding: they thought Marion was a country bumpkin and wanted him to marry someone else. Some country bumpkin! She went on to become President of the Quebec Teachers' Union and Canadian Teachers' Federation representative at the UNESCO international Education Symposium in France in 1947, just before she died. She received an editorial page eulogy in the Montreal Gazette. "Quebec, indeed the whole Dominion, has lost one its great teachers," it said.
