Mr. and M'rs, Thomas Johnston Celebrate Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary On the 'boundary between Hay and Stanley townships, about mid way be- tween 'Blake and Drysdale, is a farm ,where a highly respected couple, Mr. and Mrs, Thomas 'Johnston this win- ter- celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. They have lived through- out their married life on this farm which has been Mr. Johnston's home since he was three years of age. Mir. Johnston will celebrate his eighty- ninth birthday on April 11411. Mgrs. Johnston will be eighty-two Mar. Miss Mary Haugh. who lived five utiles south, on the 1411 concession of Hay-, and Thomas 'John; ton, were united in marriage on January aird, 1973. by the Rev. Mir, Cameron. of Kipnen. The young couple' drove to Kiopen for the wedding in a 'buggy, a fact which they both remember be- cause it was one of the first buggies in'the neighborhood. The ibridesnaid was the bride's sister Barbara, who about a year later'became Mrs, Gen. Kellerman of Dashwood, Patrick Johnston was groomsman. In the evening of their wedding day there was a big supper and soc- ial gathering at the hone of the bride. :1r. `Johnston' was born lei Ireland, at 13ellamanagh, Antrim county, He was three years old ,when his parents caste to Canada and was too young to :retain memories of the trip to a new home but recalls the story of this important event in their lives as told by his parents. The ocean voyage was made in a sailing vessel and lasted for six weeks and 'three clays, They brought provi- sions and cooked their own meads during the voyage. From Quebec to Toronto they came by boat. A team of horses and a wagon wrought 211 per- sons and all their luggage from Ta- ranto into Western Ontario. Mr. Johnston does not recall the route followed but knows the wagon eventually reached Brucefield and Varna. His parents often told of set- tlers conning out of their homes at many places along the journey and after chatting with the travellers usue alb supplier' a drink of milk far all the 'children. Two other families, the Renie Armstrong's and !the 'George Irwin s, neighbors of the Johnston's, left Ireland at the stone time and they travelled together to their new home. A brother of Mr. Johnston's mother, Andrew ',Karo, had come to Canada at ara earlier date and was al- ready . settled a mile and a ' quarter east of Drysciale. He was at 'Varna with a wig party of friends to meet the wagon- bringing the newcomers from the homeland. A joyous reunion and welcome took place; re•col'lections of stories in con- nection' with the gay celebration stili bring smiles to Me. 1Johaiston's face. The fifes supplied plenty ' of music, Renie Artns'trong himself being a resort ed fife player. Details of the event are lacking but apparently they "made the dust fly." The• Armstrong and Ir- win families settled on the !Goshen line, Stanley: The Johnston . family settled on the 'Hay -Stanley boundary. Mr, 'Johnston was then only 'three years old and still lives on the farm (Continued on. Page Four)'
