Celebrated
Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary
Pt. Dover couple have been
long time married
-- are enjoying good health.
The
ginw of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Challand of Renton was the scene of a very
happy event on Feb. 22nd, when Mrs. Challand's parents celebrated the
sixtieth anniversary of their wedding.
Mr.
Wright was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1832, coming to Canada
with his parents in 1852. In 1856 he was married to Annie Cassady
of Port Dover, who was born in 1836 at Belfast, Ireland.
Mr.
and Mrs. Wright first settled on a farm in South Cayuga, later moving
to Norfolk County. After nearly forty years they retired to Port
Dover, where they are among the oldest inhabitants of that place.
Of
this happy union there were three children, one son, William, living
near Port Dover, and two daughters, Mrs. C. W. Challand and Mrs. N. R.
Butler of Renton.
At
noon they sat down to a sumptuous repast, surrounded by the children
and eight grandchildren.
During
the afternoon, Mr. J. H. Butler, photographer, of Simcoe, took a
picture of the group.
Mr.
and Mrs. Wright are enjoying excellent health and it is hoped that
they may be spared to celebrate many more anniversaries.
