Early Days on Richmond and a Notable Marriage Tale
In early Richmond when par sons were scarce a marriage was celebrated near Coral with a pebble vow in the stream. A Casino Express writer notes settlers faced rarity, residents valued marriage and baptism, Rev Shaw’s visits were red letter days, and coats passed between grooms. The piece recalls Rev J Dunmore Lang and a bush sermon at Runnymede. It ends noting a 156 earthquake in China with 800,000 deaths.
