BIRTH MARTIN- To Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Martin, a daughter, on Saturday, December 23, 1967, in Listowel Memorial Hospital. Third in series When driving down the Howick-Carrick Boundary east of the village of Belmore, you will spot a brilliantly-lit Cen- tennial symbol glaring at you through the night darkness. It is adorning the home of Elmer Haskins, and it is quite appro- priate that this farm should bear the Centennial symbol for this is a Century Farm, a farm steeped in family tradition. It was the year 1859 that John Haskins and his wife Or- inda Birdsell, came to this farm from Leeds County in Eastern Ontario. They lived in a small log cabin there for two years, then built a stone house, a great portion of which still stands there today. They had four sons and three daughters. Martin, Albert, 'David and Wes- ley, all became farmers, the latter two staying on the home farm with their father. Sophina became Mrs. Stephen King; Martha married John Wilton; and Mary married John Duffy, who also began farming in the district. Their family later moved to Teeswater, where some Duffy descendants still reside, Following the deaths of the elder Mr. and Mrs. Haskins, the farm was taken over by their son Wesley and his wife Margaret Wright. They had three daughters-- Cora who is now Mrs. Lionel Mahood of Wingham, Doris, Mrs. Joe Thomas of Ottawa, and Edna, Mrs. Ralph Reddon of Atwood; and two sons, Ivan and Elmer. Ivan married Gladys Fitch and for some years he farmed be- side his brother on the 18th. He now resides in Gorrie. Elmer married Helene Dahms in about 1938, and they have lived on the home farm since that time. Six children have also called it home -- Earl, now of Georgetown; Wil- ma, now Mrs. Robert Lobsing- er of Mildmay; Gwelda, Mrs. Douglas Ratz of Waterloo, and Ruby, 16, Roy, 13, and Kevin 9, who are/still at home. El- mer and his wife also have five grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Has- kins continued to call Lot 9 their home, until their deaths, Wesley in 1954, at the age of 80; his wife in June of 1b62. This Century Farm has not been without its excitement, and of course, many changes have been made throughout the years. In 1927 an outside verandah was built. In 1958 a fire destroyed the upstairs of the home; it was rebuilt, and the Haskins probably have the distinction of having the only home with a 'square' Gothic! About the same year, Obvious- ly not a lucky one at tot 9, a silo' exploded, smothering two cattle, It, too, was rebuilt, The Haskins family is proud of its heritage. Evidence of this is the presence of Many articles which have belonged The marriage of Karen Anne Kilpatrick and Russell A. But- ton was solemnized in the Wing- ham Baptist Church on Satur- day, Decerraier 23. Rev. Bruce Penny officiated at the double- ring ceremony. The bride is the only daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Kilpatrick of Wingham and the groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Button of Blyth. Mrs. Elinor Collar, the or- ganist accompanied Mrs. Doug- las Kilpatrick, the soloist, who sang "Marriage Prayer" and during the signing of the regist- er "The Wedding Song". Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a floor- length gown of white silk crepe with empire waist, chantilly lace bodice and lily point sleeves. The chapel train cas- caded from the shoulders, held by tiny bows. Her triple-tiered shoulder-length veil of silk illusion was held by a pearl and crystal lily tiara. She car- ried a cascade of red poinsettias and carnations. Her bridal attendants were Mrs. Grant Sowerby of Willow- dale, cousin of the bride, as matron of honour, Miss Lorna Woods of London as bridesmaid and Miss Gloria Lewis as junior bridesmaid. They wore identi- to members of the family. El- mer has in his possession a pocket watch which belonged to his grandfather, and a clock which was brought with the family from Leeds. There is also an oxen yoke which could date back to the late 1800's, an old rake, a flail which is ;:i..' 4 # ...

She wore a floor-length gown of crystal- ette with lace bodice, empire style with a red velvet sash, white lace bow headpiece and carried a tiny white basket of red carnations. Mr. Douglas Kilpatrick of Listowel, brother of the bride, was groomsman. Mr. Frank Button, brother of the groom and Mr. Grant Kilpatrick, brother of the bride ushered guests. Following the wedding, a reception was held at Danny's dining room. For travelling to Bermuda the bride wore an en- semble of brown and white wool, brown velvet hat and brown accessories. She wore a brown fur stole with yellow rose corsage. The couple will re- side in Port Credit, Ontario. The bride is a graduate of Stratford Teachers' College and teaches at Owenwood Public School, Lorne Park District and the groom is an accountant at the Guaranty believed to be at least a cen- tury old, and a spinning wheel, which was used by Sophina Haskins about 1879. Despite the strong evidence of tradition, however, the Haskins are most modern in their farming methods today, engaged primarily in dairy Trust in Toronto. Prior to Karen's marriage, Mrs. Kilpatrick entertained friends at a trousseau tea in honour of her daughter, Mrs. O. Brooks, Mrs. C. Blake, Miss Ruth Hotchkiss and Mrs. G.
