Married 59
Years
Sunday 12 Sep 1920 was the
59th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John Lindabury,
256 Dean Street, Simcoe. The happy couple were married in Welland
County, south of Fonthill, in 1861.
Nine years later they came
to Windham, and in 1872 settled in Windham Centre, where Mr.
Lindabury conducted a general store and the post offiice, with six
deliveries a day, at a salary of $34 a year.
In 1874 a large brick
dwelling and store building was erected, the first brick building
within seven miles of this place.
After 13 years spent in
Windham Centre, the family moved on a farm in Charlotteville and a
couple of years later came to Simcoe.
For the past 33 years Mr.
and Mrs. Lindabury have been regular attendants of the Methodist
Church and Sunday School.
The family of two
daughters and three sons are all married and away from home, with
the exception of Seymour, who resides on Norfolk Street South.
Mr. Lindabury is in his
84th year and says he is an old-time Reformer. Mrs. Lindabury is
in her 78th year. Both are enjoying fairly good health.
