CELEBRATED SUNDAY BY CHILL
DREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Rarely indeed does it happen that
married couples live to see their six
tieth wedding anniversary; and still
more seldom can they look back to
such decades of happiness and serene
contentment as those to which Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen Kinsella, of this
city, can look back. Surrounded by
over one hundred of their children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren
and other near relatives, this worthy
couple celebrated their diamond we'd
ding anniversary last Sunday.
At 500 o'clock in the morning a
Solemn High Mass was sung in the
Church of Our Lady of the Angels
by their grandson, Father Austin
Kinsella, who was ordained to the
priesthood on June 3rd of this year,
the pastor, Reverend John A. Fear
on serving as deacon of the Mass, and
Mr.. j. w. Brady, of the st. Paul
Seminary, as subdeacon. The SER
mon was preached by the pastor. He
pointed to the fact that Father Kim
sella had come to honor the occasion
and to celebrate Mass in the very
church into which he had been carried
as child for baptism twenty-five
years ago; and he congratulated the
jubilarian couple on their years Of
happy welded life.
Immediately after the services at
the church the relatives and friends
of the family repaired to the Kinsella
homestead in Ashley township, where
a banquet was served at noon, and
the balance of the day given over to
games and to the couples reminis-
cense of the past sixty years.
Mr.. Kinsella was born in County
Carlow, Mrs. Kinsells in County
Limerick, Ireland; the former coming
to Canada in 1847, the other in 1852.
