[This chart is of particular interest to me {Cousin Sam}, as Charles Fleury is my grandfather. Henry Ross Wiggs did not have a lot of information in this chart, so I am adding details and corrections in Italics. I am also adding some exhibits, which Mr. Wiggs did not have.]

TWO PRETTY WEDDINGS
Mr. Taschereau and Miss Atkinson Join-
ed in Matrimony--Cusack-
Luney Nuptials.
At St. Barnabas church yesterday afternoon at 4, Mr. Charles Taschereau, of Spokane, was united in marriage by Rev. E. F. Miller to Miss Isabel Atkinson of this city. The groom is a leading merchant of the great mining city of Washington, and a nephew of the late Cardinal Taschereau, of Quebec, of which city Mr. Taschereau is a native. Miss Atkinson is the second daughter of Mrs. A. Harrison Atkinson, of Harrison street, and long and favorably known here as a hospital nurse. Their wedding was one of the prettiest of the late summer season, the church being very charmingly decorated, and bride and groom standing under a beautiful bell of asters, while friends were out en masse to extend congratulations and good wishes.
The bride, who was given away by Mr. F. S. Hussey, wore a handsome gown of white Swiss muslin, tastefully trimmed with Valenciennes lace and white satin ribbon; with an exquisite picture hat of white velvet and ostrich feathers, daintily tied with chiffon strings that were held in place by a magnificent diamond clasp, the gift of the groom. The bridal shower bouquet was of white roses and carnations, also the groom's gift.
The sisters of the bride, the Misses Maud and Grace Atkinson, acted as bridesmaids. They were daintily costumed in dotted white Swiss, with large white silk sashes held in place by silver clasps, a souvenir present from the groom; and wore picture hats of white leghorn, trimmed with white chiffon and tips. Pretty shower bouquets of pink carnations completed their dainty toilettes.
Dr. Robertson supported the groom.
After the ceremony and the departure of the bridal party to the strains of Mendelssohn's immortal wedding march, a reception was held at the home of the bride's mother, which was prettily adorned with flags and flowers, and where numerous and very handsome gifts had been sent to await the coming of the bride by members of her large circle of personal friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Taschereau left by the evening Victorian for Spokane, where they will reside.
