Golden Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Birdsell of Boston, Ont., celebrated their Golden Anniversary on Tuesday, 6 Dec 1921.

At noon hour 20 invited guests sat down to dinner, which was surely a feast of fat things. When all had eaten and drunken well, the usual round of speeches were enjoyed.

Six young men and women, namely: Alex Nelles of Boston, Mrs. Jas. Burtch of Brantford, Jacob Johnson of Norwich, Mrs. Geo. Taylor of Brantford, David Flanders and his wife of Boston, accompanied Mr. Birdsell and his bride, Miss Mary Johnson, to Brantford on their wedding day and attended the Golden Anniversary.

Among other guests were: Mrs. Alex Nelles of Boston, Jas. Burtch of Brantford, Henry Johnson of Brantford, Mrs. Joseph Johnson of Boston, Marcus Butler of Brantford, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beemer of Scotland, Gordon Birdsell of Scotland, Rev. and Mrs. Vail of Boston.

Oscar Birdsell, who resides at home is their only surviving heir.
