Col.
and Mrs. H. L. Coombs very quietly celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary on Monday by being entertained at dinner by a
neighbor.
Their children, three sons
and a daughter, could not be present on the auspicious occasion,
unfortunately. Frank Coombs is living in New York State. Arthur is
living West, Captain Harry Coombs is overseas, and one daughter
lives in Sarnia.
Col. Coombs, who served his
country during the Fenian troubles, and who has been officer
commanding Norfolk's 39th Regiment, is well and favorably known to
his fellow Simconians, as is Mrs. Coombs, and were welcomed
heartily back to Simcoe several years ago after a stay in
Oakville.
The Reformer extends to
them its heartiest good wishes for a continuance of their married
life, and hopes for them the best of health.
