(Wendy Somerville photo). By Wendy Somerville They met at a ball game, at a time when the old Maitland league was running in Auburn. Francis Patterson was a great ball player and Zella was proud of his 21 strikeouts in one game. Francis courted Zella for about two years and they eventually married in Zella's Westfield home. "We were married right in my living room right in the corner," laughed Zella. The only other member of the wedding party was Francis' niece along with two witnesses. The couple had a double honeymoon with Francis' sister and husband. The four went to Toronto's C.N.E. and Niagara Falls. "We went to Stouffville, that's when it wasn't connected with Toronto," added Francis. "I had new shoes on and I had to walk around in my stocking feet because my feet hurt," remembered Zella. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson settled on a farm in East Wawanosh on the third line. It was here that they brought up their three children, Bill, Ken and Shirley, and toiled the soil for 43 years. They were married at a time when cars were unheard of and the horse arid buggy were the only means of transport from one neighbor to another. They were together , during a depression and a world war, yet still they stuck together. Bill Patterson said he could never remember his parents raising their voices towards one another. According to Francis Patterson, "We have always spent time talking things over. There was never a real boss in the marriage." Seventeen years ago the Pattersons moved to their present home in Blyth. The house is a cosy bungalow filled with fur- niture that once furnished a typical farm house. Flowers and cards line the shelves and tables, commemorating their 60th wedding anniversary. On the 5th of September Bill, Ken and Shirley held an open house at the Blyth United Church in honor of their parents' anniversary. As many as 200 guests came from all over to visit a couple who had been married exactly 60 years to the day. Cards and flowers are still arriving to- day and Francis and Zella are proud of their treasures. Eric Nielsen sent a con- gratulatory message from parliament as did David Peterson, leader of the opposi- tion. John Aird, Canada's Lieutenant Governor, sent a message that, "As representative in Ontario of Her Majesty the Queen, may I extend greetings and congratulations to you." Cards and phone calls from coast to coast leave Francis and Zella Patterson with a feeling that their marriage was and is definitely a happy and successful union.
