Brewers celebrate golden wedding anniversary
Approximately 50 friends and
relatives gathered at the home of
Dianne and Brian Huether on the
occasion of Joe and Ethel Brewer's
50th wedding anniversary on
Sunday, Aug. 28.
Earlier in the day the couple
enjoyed brunch at their home
attired in the 50-year-old wedding
dress and a tight-fitting suit.
The couple was married on Sept.
2, 1944 at Melville Presbyterian
Church with Rev. Samuel Kerr
officiating and Mr. L. D.
Thompson as organist.
Part of the wedding party were
present at the celebration: Mary
Lowe, bridesmaid; Ross Cunning
ham, groomsman and Kenneth
Bowler, London, ring bearer.
The Brewers were the recipients
of many beautiful gifts and cards,
also receiving congratulatory
messages from Premier Bob Rae,
Prime Minister Jean Chretien and
the Governor General of Canada.
A bountiful smorgasbord was
served to all present.
Brussels
People
Eleanor Hemingway, with other
members of her family, attended
the Godkin-Schurteman wedding in
Fort Francis on Aug. 20. Ross, Anne
and Darlene Hemingway attended
the funeral of Anne's brother-in-law
in Saskatoon last week.
Jane Devries had relatives over
from Holland. When they arrived
the Friesian flag was out to
welcome them.
They were impressed that such a
small village has such a large
arena, for hockey and skating in
winter. Also that Brussels offers so
many things to the public, like
swimming pool, ball park, lawn
bowling, tennis and a beautiful park
for picnics.
The Mason Chapel, too is
something Brussels can be proud
of, they thought.
The Thriftshop was another place
for them to visit and they even took
some items home with them. They
watched a wedding ceremony,
which they found very different
than in Holland. Over there the
bride and groom are married at the
town hall and afterwards blessed in
the church but the town hall is the
place for a lawful wedding, to be
registered.
They were amazed that cars
would slow down and let them
cross the street. They left with
pleasant thoughts about our
friendly town.
Ashley Gropp relumed home Fri
day after a week at Camp Edge
wood, a Lutheran Church camp
located al Eden Mills.
Part of her confirmation studies,
the camp also provided Ashley
with an opportunity to make many
new friends from Owen Sound,
Wellesley and Stratford.
Pastor Don Thomas of St. Peter's
Lutheran Qhurch, Milverton
accompanied the confirmation class
to camp.

I am writing this from my
new roll-top desk! What a
wonderful place to have
lived for five years. Thank
you so much for all your
friendly caring for me.
Whether it was at church,
on your lawn, in your
home, at the arena, or the
ball diamond, or the post
office you made me feel
so welcomed and a part of
the town. I am
overwhelmed by all the
kind words, cards, letters,
gifts and tears that you
have shared with me at
this time. Never have I felt
so special. What a
privilege to have
ministered here. You've
decorated my life.
Thank You.
I'll always remember
you...from a distance.
God bless you all.
And goodbye.
