Diamond Wedding Singhampton Couple Cele- brate Unique Occasion. An honor which comes to few was granted Mr. and Mrs. Alex Weir of Sing- hainpion on Satuiday, March 25tli, wb>'n they Were permitted to see the sixtieth annivereaiy of their marriage. This im- portant event was quietly celebrated at their home, when their family, with the exception of one daughter, tn^ether with their pastor and his wife, and a few in- timate friends met to make the occasion pleasant and memorable. Rev. J. Pbiinister performed the mar- riage ceremony, after which a bountiful repast was served, followed by an inter- esting toast list. Congratulatory speech- es were made by members of the family and others, and a very pleasant evening was spent in social interouur.se. One of the guests, Mr.s.^Goo. Wilson, .sr., a niece of Mrs. Weir's, was present at (he mar- riage sixty years ago, and also at the golden wedding celebration. Alexander Weir and Elizabeth Gil- christ were both born near Enniskillen, Ireland, the former in the year lyi'.l, and the latter in 1829. Mr. Weir came to Canada in 184(5, and in 1848 his future bride, with her sister and sister's family, followed. On March 25th, 18.")1, llie hands and hearts of this Iii^h couple were united at Bovvnianville, Ontario. They started life together in Brock town- ship, but hearing of Ijotter advantages farther back, they inoved in 1853 to the toivnsliip i)f Eijremoiit, where they Ithd all the varied experiences of pioneer life. Mr. Weir, while farming also worked at his trade as a weaver. At that time his in-irkcting was done at Stayner and Col- liiigwood, the round trip requiting three and four days, as Mr. Weir would take lumber, etc., on his return trip, the ad- ditional gain conipeiisating for the addi- tional labor. In 1872 the family moved to Nottawa- siij^a and settled oti lot 17, con. 10, where Mr. and Mrs. Weir still reside with their youngest son and his wife, who lovingly minister to tlieir every need. Mr. and Mrs. Weir are among the most respected and best loved citizens of this community, as ihroughout their lives they have ever stood for the rijjht and h\ve given generously of their sub- stance and labor to every good cause. They are proud, and justly so. of the fact that from beginning life with no worldly wealth they have lived to see a good old age, suiroundod by every com- foit and luxury they caii desire ; with their family taking their places in the world as useful and honored citizens. Of their family of ton, seven are still living, viz. : John H., of Glen Huron; Mrs. >foble Wilson, of Bocl.hville ; Goo., of Colliugwood ; Mrs. James Wilson, of Walters Falls ; Mrs. J. W. Taylor, ot Singharaploii ; Mrs. Alex. Fachiiie, of Govan, Sask., and Robert, on the home- stead. Tliure are also living tliirty-four giaiidchildren and five great-grand- children.
