There were several little flurries of
activity in our little village over the
weekend.
Early Friday morning, Aug. 9,
Jared Grant Bergsma became the
youngest resident of Londesboro.
You may have noticed the
announcement on Grant and Sandy's
lawn.
Thirty-eight years ago this
summer, a young groom and his
bride exited the Londesboro United
Church following their marriage and
were ushered into a manure spreader
for a trip around the village. This
past Saturday you may have seen
Walkerburn community has lost a
good friend and neighbour. Martha, ,
Mrs. Roy Daer has passed away.
Martha came to this district as a
bride many years ago. She was a
member of the Presbyterian Church
and active in the Walkerburn Club
for many years.
She will be sadly missed by the
district and her friends.
Deepest sympathy to the family.
Lunch was served by the
Walkerburn Club following the
funeral on Aug. 6.
A goodly number of friends and
relatives were able to return to Knox
and heard a similar parade around
the village streets.
It only seemed appropriate that
Michael and Pam Radford,
following their marriage should keep
up the tradition. This time the
complete wedding party climbed
aboard and their tractor-pulled
chariot was followed by Grandpa
Radford's Model T Ford honking its
horn.
As the tent came down Sunday
afternoon the title of a song from
some years ago popped into mind —
Wasn't That a Party?
Sunday afternoon the Blyth Fire
Department made a call in the
village. A newly-repaired posthole
digging truck owned by Mike and
Tanya Merner caught on fire. The
vehicle was completely destroyed
but firemen quickly controlled the
area around it.
Well-known lay minister, Bob
Heywood, will conduct Sunday
morning services at Londesboro
United' Church the next two
Sundays, Aug. 18 and 25.
United, Auburn and enjoy lunch
before leaving for their homes.
There are boxes in Stickers
Restaurant and the post office at
Auburn. These are for two bride-
elects, Cheryl Lapp and Tracy
Delbergue, who will be married
shortly. We wish the brides and of
course the grooms, a world of
_happiness.
Carmen and Christine Gross are
the proud grandparents of twin boys,
who were born recently. Mother and
babies are doing nicely.
Congratulations from the
community.
Cheryl Kim Lapp was united in
marriage to Gerald Elliott DeGraaf
on Aug. 9 at Bethel Pentecostal
Assembly. It was a lovely ceremony
with Pastor Bruce Brodrecht
officiating.
Needless to say the bride and her
attendants looked lovely in beautiful
gowns made by the bride's mother
Helen Lapp.
After the marriage service
everyone went to Clinton Legion for
the wedding dinner followed by
dancing. The happy couple left later
for their honeymoon. They will be
residing in Drayton, Ontario.
Prior to the wedding, photos were
taken at the home of the bride's
grandmother, Mrs. E. Lapp .at Bird
Haven. Guests from a distance were
present. An aunt and uncle of the
bride from Holland and also Bill and
Mary Lapp from British Columbia.
They are her father Keith's brother
and sister-in-law.
Dick Lapp of London, Elliott
Lapp's brother, stayed overnight at
Auburn and went golf;ng Sunday
afternoon with numerous family
members. He left for home
immediately after the game.
The Knox United service, Aug. 11
was held in the church basement.
The guest minister was a former
Blyth minister, Rev. C. Wittich.
Bernice Gross was the pianist and
Shirley Andrews took the collection.
Bible School is to begin and will
be held this year at Auburn
Missionary Church.
A number of children will enjoy
this service.
