GOLDEN WEDDING.-Th fiftieth an
niversary of the wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs Edward Barnard of this village
occurred on Tuesday last and the oc-
casion was made very agreeable by
the meeting at their residence, both |
afternoon and evening, of many
friends. Mr.. Barnard has been a res
ident of this village for over sixty
years, and his home since his marriage
has been here Mrs. Barnard, Oath
crime Jones, came here as a school I
teacher about 1910, her home being at /
that time in Waitsfeld. She taught I
school in the old school house on High I
street, when all the children-about |
seventy = were convened in one
school. Mr.. Barnard also was teach
er, and both before and after their
taught in this town, in GLOW
er, ETC. 1t was quite natural that the
teachers should find acquaintance and
association congenial and that mar
rage resulted. After residing on Wa
ter St. some twenty years, their pres
ent residence was built in 1868, which
has since been occupied and enjoyed.
They were remembered on Tuesday
by the presence of many friends from
the village, Barton Landing, etc., by
many letters from friends, one from
Rev. w. A. Robinson, and a large
number Of valuable presents. Among
these we mention an elegant plush
chair, beautiful stand lamp, books, /
pictures and other pretty mementoes.
The good wishes Of many are extend
ed, with the hope that the span Of life
may be heightened out many years
longer, and that a good degree of /
health shall be theirs to enjoy AS their
ripper years shall carry them nearer to
life's boundary line.
