Port Dover: Sunday was a memorable day in the lives of 
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Robinson of Woodhouse, for on that 
day they celebrated their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary.

On 20 Dec 1871 they were married at the Methodist parsonage, Simcoe. 

They made their first home together on the homestead on what was then called mud street, but is now known as Broadway. 
There the long happy years of their married life were spent 
until a few years ago when they removed to the home they now occupy, two miles east of Port Dover on the Jarvis highway, 
or the old Plank Road as it was then called.

Mr. Robinson was born 1 May 1849 .and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson, Mud Street, and has only one brother remaining, Jack Robinson, St. Patrick St., Port Dover.

Mrs. Robinson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Slocomb, and was born at the old homestead on the Lake Shore road east of Port Dover, eighty-years ago. She has two brothers living, George Slocomb of Woodhouse and Frank Slocomb of Port Dover.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson had 10 children, five sons and five daughters. Four died in infancy. Two married daughters, 
Mrs. E. Jamiison and Mrs. W. Foster, have also died, leaving 
four sons: Harry, who lives on the old homestead, 
Oscar of Port Ryerse, Chester of Woodhouse, and 
George of Toronto.

There are 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

A family reunion was held on Sunday at the home, and it was a day filled with happy memories for Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, 
who are both enjoying good health and who received the congratulations of a wide circle of relatives and friends.
