G. Ross and Barbara Anderson
celebrated their 65th wedding
anniversary on Aug. 23 at their home
in Belgrave, a mere two blocks away
from where the couple was wed on
Aug. 19, 1950.
Barbara Michie of Concession 5 in
Morris Township, daughter of James
and Jeanie, was wed to Ross, son of
Jack and Myrtle of Belgrave at
Belgrave United Church by Rev.
W.J. Moores. Attendants of the
couple were Jean Wills, Donna
Anderson and Joan Cole and Lloyd
Anderson, George Michie and Bill
McCleneghan as well as flower girl
Ruth Michie.
The couple honeymooned in
Midland and Port McNichol before
returning to Belgrave where Ross
owned Anderson’s Hardware and
Electric for 40 years. Through the
business he provided electrical and
plumbing work in the area. Barbara
was a school teacher for eight years
before helping with the hardware
store.
The couple retired in 1990 and
have four children, Richard of
Goderich, Nancy of Hanover,
Doreen of Peterborough and Sheila
of Guelph as well as eight
grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren.
Both enjoyed time in the church
choir. Between the two of them they
held offices in the church, the
Sunday school program and the
UCW.
The family celebration, which was
held on Aug. 23 at their Parker Drive
home in Belgrave welcomed
members of the original wedding
party back like Lloyd Anderson of
London, accompanied by Eleanor,
and special guest Donna Shaw of
Belgrave.
Ross served in the Royal Canadian
Air Force as a radar mechanic during
World War II in Newfoundland as
well as at various stations in
England. After retiring he enjoyed
lawn bowling and curling.
The couple enjoyed camping
holidays with their children and have
had several interesting trips since
retiring and building their retirement
home.
