      This is the article. You'll notice that it says Mary is 'of' Winnipeg. That is where she worked after her journey from Belfast where she was raised.

      "The Watson Witness" -- Newspaper , Friday, May 8, 1908: 'Wedding Bells -- A quiet wedding took place on Tuesday morning, May 5th at ten o'clock, when Mr. S. M. Hacock, proprietor of the Victoria Hotel, and Miss Mary E Goff of Winnipeg were united in the bonds of matrimony.
      'The knot was tied by Rev. Mr. Nixon. The bride was attended by Miss Emma Hall, and the groom by his brother Mr. G. F. Hicock.
      'The bride looked charming in a white silk gown with lace insertion, a wreath of orange blossoms and a bridal veil, carrying a bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaid was very prettily attired in pale blue silk.
      'After the ceremony the couple left for Edmonton. Their tour will include Calgary, Banff, Revelstoke, steamer trips on the rivers and lakes amid the scenery of British Columbia. they will return by Lethbridge, Regina, and Saskatoon, with several brief stops along the route. They are expected home about the first of June and a reception will be held at the Victoria on the evening of their arrival.

      "The Watson Witness" -- Friday, May 22, 1908: 'Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Hacock completed their wedding tour and returned to town on Sunday. Their wedding reception was held at the Victoria on Tuesday evening and was highly enjoyed by everyone. They received the congratulations of their numerous friends, a sumptious spread and then dancing till the early morning hours added to the delight of all.'
