    Bailey-Coker.
    A very pretty wedding was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathedral on the 18th of December by the Rev. Barlee. The contracting parties were Mr. W. H. Bailey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, "Camara," Southport, and Miss Constance Coker, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Coker, "Granvilla," William-street. The bride was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Lily Hick (chief) and Miss Myra Coker. Mr. John Dally was in attendance as best man, and Mr. Peter Bailey as groomsman. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dainty frock of ivory chiffon taffeta, lightly veiled with silk tulle, the bodice almost entirely of lace and tulle. The train falling from the shoulders was also of tulle and chiffon taffeta. Her tulle veil was arranged in the court style, with a mop cap effect, and orange blossoms, and she carried a beautiful bouquet of white roses, stephanotis, and fern, tied with white satin streamers, the gift of the bridegroom. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a gold albert, and the bridegroom's gift to the bride was a handsome dressing case. The bridesmaids were attired in pretty frocks of ivory georgette over net and lace, with clusters of lavender and pink buds, and wore hats to match. They also carried baskets of flowers composed of dahlias and roses, tied with lavender streamers, and wore gold Nellie Stewart bangles, the gifts of the bridegroom. After the ceremony the wedding party adjourned to the residence of the bride's parents, where the wedding breakfast was held. As the bridal party entered the house the Flying Squadron Orchestra (of which the bridegroom is a member) played the Wedding March. They left later by train for Southport, where the honeymoon is being spent, the bride travelling in a tailor-made gabardine coat and skirt and hat to match. The presents were numerous and costly, including many cheques.

    A SHOCKING TRAGEDY. (1918, June 29). The Capricornian (Rockhampton, Qld : 1875 - 1929), p. 27. Retrieved February 6, 2012, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article69720790
    A man named Leonard Coker, who has for some years been in the service of the Railway Department, lost his life in a tragic manner shortly after six o'clock on Saturday evening, his head being almost severed from his body while he was in the ash pit underneath an engine.
    Mr. Coker and a fireman named Walter Ashton took over the engine of the southern mail train for the purpose of coaling it and removing the ashes before shunting it to the shed.
    Mr. Coker, with a torch and a spanner, entered the pit to examine the engine after it had been shunted just over him, and, according to Mr Ashton, who was on the board, gave a sharp whistle and moved the engine 18 in. or 2 ft.
    Instantly he heard a sound as of groaning, and, jumping off the engine, was horrified to find Mr. Coker kneeling in the pit with his head practically cut off and resting over the left shoulder on the edge of the pit near the rail.
    There was blood inside the rail and on the ledge, suggesting that Mr. Coker had put his head out between the wheels when he was caught by one of the wheels, which, passing over his neck, cut it through from under the chin.
    There was no need, it is stated, for Mr. Coker to look out to examine any part of the engine on the outside, and the only conclusion to be come to is that he thought his companion had not heard his call to him to shift the engine and put his head out to repeat the call.
    Those in authority were at once apprised and Mr Coker's body was removed.
    The deceased left a wife and family.
    His funeral will take place at half-past eleven o'clock this forenoon.
