HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2009-04-30, Page 20It was a diamond of a day for Phyllis and Emerson Mitchell on Saturday as they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a party at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. The former Phyllis Cuthill of Walton, daughter of Wilmer and Kathleen, married the son of Will and Bessie Mitchell of Grey Twp., at the Walton church manse on May 7, 1949. Rev. R.G. Hazelwood officiated. Marie (Bennett) Coutts and the late Jack Mitchell were bridalattendants. Following the ceremony thenewlyweds travelled by bus for ahoneymoon in Niagara Falls. They came home to Lot 9, Conc. 11, in Grey where they farmed. They raised four sons, Gordon, Ross, Doug and Neil, and their family has grown to include 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The couple retired to Brussels in 2004, after Neil took over the farm, but can often be found there lending a hand. They also began operating a bed and breakfast many years ago, a business that has moved with them to their village home. They are also busy community people. Phyllis shares her musical talent throughout the area at church services and local events. She is a member of Duff’s United Church Women and sings in the church choir. She plays with the Brussels Legion Pipe Band, is involved with the horticultural society and volunteers her time and talent to Huronlea. She was chosen as Citizen of the Year for Brussels and Area for 2006. Emerson is also an active member of Duff’s Church and the Loyal Orange Lodge of Seaforth. Besides friends, families and neighbours in attendance at the anniversary celebration, there were also bed and breakfast ‘friends’ present from Wiscon- sin, Port Hope, St. Catharines, Niagara, the Meaford area, Tavistock, Thamesford and Kitchener.
