    A very pretty and interesting wedding took place on Wednesday last in the Enoggera Terrace Presbyterian Church, the contracting parties being Mr. George Cossart, of Toowoomba, and Miss Minne M. Shaw, of Paddington, Brisbane. The Church was well filled with a large company of friends of both parties, and was very effectively decorated by the girl friends of the bride.

Lundie, B.A., and A. G. Weller, of Toowoomba. The bride entered the Church leaning on the arm of her father, and was attended by four bridesmaids-namely, Miss Shaw, sister of bride, Miss Cossart, sister of the bride-groom, and Misses Gertie Shaw, and Bessie McNulty, nieces of the bride. The bride looked very charming in her handsome wedding costume. The dress was of soft, white silk, the skirt slightly trained, and arranged with a deep circular-tucked flounce, finished at the foot with very narrow frills; the bodice, which was in the bolero style, was finely tucked, the sleeves also tucked, and worn with a pretty fichu of crepe-de-chine, trimmed with silk Maltese lace; the swathed belt was fastened with a handsome pearl buckle, and the beautifully embroidered veil with a spray of orange blossoms.
    Miss Emmeline Shaw, chief bridesmaid, wore a pretty cream silk zephyr gown, the tucked bodice contrasted with buttercup chiffon; her fancy straw hat was arranged with cream chiffon, buttercup,and roses. Miss Cossart, sister of the bridegroom, was in cream silk, voile, patented in stripes, the bodice yoked with cream satin and guipure, and a very becoming hat to harmonise. The two little nieces of the bride, Miss Gertie Shaw, and Miss Bessie McNulty, were frocked alike in pale-blue cashmere, and wore white leghorn hats. The bridesmaids carried shower bouquets; the two elder wore gold brooches and the two younger gold chain bangles, gifts of the bridegroom. All the flowers at the wedding were arranged by Mr. George Lothian, of Toowoomba.

    At the conclusion of the ceremony, a large company of friends of the happy couple assembled at the Foresters' Hall, Paddington, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was laid in Mr. David Webster's best style. The tables were ladened with the most tempting dainties, whilst the handsome bride cake gave a picturesque finish to a most inviting feast. The hall was nicely decorated by the hall-keeper, Mr. John Butters. Many appropriate mottos adorned the walls, the most prominent being that which extended right across the hall-the words of John Milton-" Marriage rightly understood gives to the tender and the good a paradise below." The usual wedding toasts were proposed and honoured. The Rev. Mr. Roberts, in proposing the health of the bride and bridegroom, told of the high esteem in which his young friends were held, and of the excellent service they had both rendered in the cause of God and temperance. He He wished them every happiness and godspeed in their new life. Mr.Cossart suitably replied. The health of the bridesmaids was proposed by Rev. Mr. Lundie, and responded to by Mr. John Cossart. That of the parents was entrusted to Rev. Mr. Weller, who, in a brief happy speech, told of the general esteem in which Mr. Cossart is held in Toowoomba, and paid a fitting tribute to the family of the bride, as old personal friends of his own. Mr. Cossart, sen., and Mr. .lames Shaw,sen., each replied in fitting terms. Before resuming his seat, Mr.. Shaw proposed the health of the ministers, which was replied to by Ret.Mr. Weller . This brought a highly enjoyable and interesting function to a close. In the afternoon a reception was held, and the many beautiful and useful presents inspected and admired.

It appears that the child went on an errand to her father, who was engaged in clearing, a short distance from the homestead, when the branch of a falling tree dashed the child to the ground, and almost buried its head in the earth. The father endeavoured to release the child by chopping away the branch which held it so firmly to the ground, but he soon discovered that such a course would not enable him to remove the timber, and would tend to increase the weight upon the child's body. He consequently resolved to dig out the poor little sufferer, and, with the assistance of several neighbours, the little prisoner was at length released. A messenger was immediately sent for medical assistance, and Dr. Roberts attended in a few hours, when the injuries received were found to be less severe than was at first supposed. Great hopes are entertained that the child will survive the terrible bruising she has received."
    Sadly, five months later her brother Henry was killed when a tree fell on him while he was carting logs to the Highfields Sawmill.

  • Ivy May Shaw Cossart died on 2 July 1973 in Queensland at age 69.
  • On 24 February 1974 this eulogy was read in St Stephen's Presbyterian Church by the President of St Stephen's Woman's Guild.
    "It is with deep since of humility to God that I ask the congregation of St Stephen's to recognize the work and dignity of Ivy Chapman, our esteemed Vice-President of the Women's Guild.
    From her earliest years she was mindful of what was required of her. Records show that as a Sunday School scholar her diligence was rewarded with the Sunday School prize. This characterized her attitude to everything she touched, whether it be Treasurer of the Girl's Guide in 1923, or Vice-President of the Women's Guild in 1973. Fifty years of service to St Stephen's. Honesty of purpose was fundamental to her being. She service in so many organisations of the church in various capacities, as Sunday School teacher, tennis Club, Choir, to name a few. As a wife and mother she was able to share so much of her Church life with her husband and two sons.
    She carried her Christian virtues into other avenues of Service. Brodbibb Home was high up on her list of priorities: and finding relaxation amongst her friends on the Croquet Green was a sheer joy. But for all this her Church was her first Priority. No doubt the warm colour of this cloth is significant, and the fact that the lettering is in gold is indeed correct and in very good taste, to honour the memory of Ivy Chapman.
    But my memory of Ivy is wrapped up in the words of a Solo she sang at a Service one Sunday morning and I feel they give expression to her concept of what life is all about, and the Source from which is derived the strength to give life its meaning. And I quote the words "I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown and he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God - that shall be to you, better than light, and safer than a known way."
    Mr Moderator, on behalf of St Stephen's Women's Guild, I ask you to accept this memorial in memory of Ivy Chapman and dedicate it to the Glory of God, for use on this Communion Table."
