Living to 102 years old is a
miraculous feat in this day and age
but Cecil Raynard of Brussels says
it’s just a matter of staying healthy.
Raynard, who was born on the
Fourth concession in Grey
Township, says that he’s surpassed
the milestone of a 100th birthday
due to one thing: walking.
“I lasted by doing just what I’m
about to do right now and what I’ve
been doing for 30 years,” he said.
“I’m going out for a walk.
“There are far too many people not
using their feet these days,” he said.
Raynard lives in Huronlea Home
for the Aged in Brussels and moved
there about four years ago.
“I lived at home until about four
years ago. My wife, Lowella, has
Alzheimer’s and I needed help to
take care of her.”
Prior to that he and his wife lived
in an apartment in Brussels and,
before that, he lived in a house he
built himself in Ethel.
“I was a farmer until I turned 60,”
he said. “Then I bought a plot of
land in Ethel.”
Aside from the plumbing and
heating, Raynard said he built two
houses on the land by hand andsevered one of the homes.“We eventually moved to Brusselsbecause the house was just too big
for the two of us,” he said.
He retired from farming because
he saw no future in his family farm.
“I had no sons and my daughters
weren’t interested,” he said of histhree daughters, Linda Shirley andIrene.As for what he remembers and
what he’s learned from more than a
100 years of living, Raynard said
one of his best moments was on his
100th birthday.
“One of the young ladies whoworks [at Huronlea] told me I waseating too much salt and that itwasn’t good for me,” he said with a
laugh. “She looked like she was in
her 20s, and I’m sitting here at 100
and she’s telling me something is not
healthy.”

Gertrude and William Kellington
of Brussels recently marked their
65th anniversary with a celebration
at Brussels United Church on Nov.
13.
Gertrude Riley, the daughter of
George and Lillian of Mitchell
married William, son of Thomas and
Dollie, at the Anglican Church in
Sebringville on Nov. 15, 1946.
The ceremony was presided over
by Maurice H.H. Farr and was
attended by Mima Farr, the sister of
the bride and William Farr, her
brother-in-law.
The couple went to Toronto for
their honeymoon before settling in
Brussels where William was a truck
driver until he retired in 1991.
Gertrude spent her life as a
homemaker until she retired in 1992.
The Kellingtons have six children:
Larry, husband of Bonnie from
Springfield; Joyce, wife of Don
Jacklin, from Brussels; Bob,
husband of Nadine, from Stratford;
Murray, husband of Stephanie, from
Brussels; Brian, friend of Jan, of
Norwich and Kevin, husband of
Rose, of Brussels.
The couple has 15 grandchildren
and 15 great-grandchildren.
The bride and groom’s interests
include being involved with their
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren’s sports and
schooling.
They are also members of the
Western Star Lodge, the Morning
Star Rebekah Lodge, the Brussels
Horticultural Society and the
Brussels United Church.
Guests came from Orangeville, St.
Marys, Hensall, Seaforth, Winthrop,
Stratford, Goderich, Lucan, Aylmer,
Springfield and Brussels and area to
celebrate with a come-and-go tea at
the church.
Afterwards, family members
celebrated privately.
Congrats

Cecil Raynard, who early last week celebrated his 102nd
birthday at Huronlea Home for the Aged in Brussels, said
that the secret to his longevity is walking. Every day for the
past 30 years he has walked and enjoys it. (Denny Scott photo)
