Clerk and Wife observe
Golden Wedding
The home of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry McKnight, Teeterville, was the scene of a happy event
on Tuesday, the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary.
Approximately 30
were present for the day, including
Mr. and Mrs. McKnight's sons and daughters and their children.
Mr. McKnight, who
is 74 years old and who has been clerk of the Township of Windham for
many years, is
a son of the late James McKnight and Sarah Wray.
Mrs. McKnight,
who is 73, is a daughter of the late Thomas Edgeworth and Marjorie
Robertson.
On 9 Mar 1887
they were married in Norwich by the
Rev. W. H. Myers. Their attendants were A. R. McKnight, the groom's
brother, who now resides in Simcoe and
Miss Gustie Edgeworth, the bride's sister, both of whom were present
for the anniversary on Tuesday.
Their seven
children are:
Mrs. Bruce Jull and Mrs. Albert S. Jull of Little Lake,
Mrs. Sherman Livsey of Detroit,
Miss Jennie and Mr. James McKnight of Teeterville,
Mr. Harry McKnight of Simcoe and
Mrs. S. B. Oppenheimer of Chicago, Ill.
Following their
marriage Mr. and Mrs. McKnight settled in Teeterville in the home
where they still reside.
Both are enjoying the best of health and it is hoped they may be
spared to celebrate many more anniversaries of their marriage.
