Waterford
One of those very pleasing
events in life that few live to enjoy, was celebrated at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wiederick [sic] on Christmas Day.
The occasion was the 50th anniversary of Mrs. Weiderick's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Misner [sic] of Tyrrell.
The celebration was of
more than ordinary interest, for 50 years ago, when Mr. and Mrs.
Misner were married, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jackson of Simcoe were
also united in marriage at the same time and place. Mrs. Jackson
died last summer, but Mr. Jackson was present at the golden
wedding celebration.
Another interesting
feature of the occasion is that about two years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Misner attended the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Lefler of
Waterford, and Mr. and Mrs. Lefler were able to be present
Christmas Day.
Others who were present
were:
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Evans and daughter Lena,
Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Langs and daughter Lillian of Yarmouth
Centre,
Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Murtland,
Mr. and Mrs. John Walters and daughter Lila,
Rev. J. B. Moore of Waterford,
Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Snively of Townsend,
Frank Misner, a brother of Mrs. Weiderick.
A very fine Christmas
dinner was served, followed by appropriate speeches by Rev. J. B.
Moore, Hugh Misner, E. Jackson and Frank Misner [sic],
interspersed with vocal and instrumental music by Miss Lila Watts.
The wedding gifts were numerous and costly. Many friends sent
letters of regret at being unable to be present, and extending
hearty congratulations to the bride and groom.
