it to lead the horse. "I couldn't
even see a track," he recalled
as the couple celebrated their
50th wedding anniversary at a
reception in the Anglican Church
parish hall in Atwood.
When he arrived at the door
.,of the bride's parents' home
in Cranbrook where the wedding
was held Feb. 14, 1923, his face
was partly frozen.
The couple began farming on
the 12th concession, Elma Town-
ship where they farmed until
they retired to Broa.dhagen in
1951. Five years ago, they moved
to Atwood.
Born in Cranbrook, Mrs. Ni-
cholls is a daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Steiss. Her
husband, a native of London, Eng.
' came to Elms, Township when he
was five years old. He served
overseas with the Canadian 110th
Battaliiii in the First World War.
The Nicholls have a son El-
wood of RR 2, Atwood, and a
daughter, Mrs. William (Iola)
Grube of Clinton. They have
four grandchildren and six great-
grandchildren.
