The turnout was great. A hearty lunch was served. Happy 50th anniversary to Don and Erma Cartwright. An Auburn couple celebrated a golden occasion with family and friends this past weekend. The former Erma Gladys Rueger of Goderich Twp. and Donald Edwin Cartwright of East Wawanosh were married May 17, 1958 at Wesley Willis United Church in Clinton by J.A. McKim. The bride was the daughter of William and Dorothy Rueger while the groom was the son of Edwin and Dorothy Cartwright. Attending the bridal couple were James Cartwright and Grace Hallam. Following the ceremony the newlyweds departed for a honeymoon in Niagara Falls before returning to their home on the 16th concession of Goderich Twp. Don worked as a welder until retirement in 1998 and Erma was a seamstress. She retired in 2005. The couple had three children, David, Derrick and Lorie (Ferrell). The family has grown to include grandchildren: Ashley, Brittany, Tyler Christopher and Litsa Cartwright and Amanda Ferrell. The couple enjoy retirement being active in a number of social and community activities. Don is a member of the Oddfellows and likes trap shooting. Erma is a member of the Rebekahs and Auburn Women’s Institute. Her hobby is quilting. The anniversary part was held at the Auburn Hall on Saturday afternoon. Special guests were the bridal attendants, Don’s sister Jetrid Cartwright of Kitchener and Erma’s sister, Carol Thompson from Sarnia. A dinner, prepared by the family, was enjoyed after the open house at the Cartwrights’ home. Congrats Erma and Don Cartwright of Auburn were the guests of honour for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration at Auburn Hall this past Saturday. (Vicky Bremner photo) On Mother’s Day Sunday, May 11 the children at Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary Church sang Do Everything Without Complaining. Steve and Krista Campbell, who are members of Huron Chapel took part in the Missions Conference. They are planning to leave Huron County in August 2008 to be support missionaries in Papua, New Guinea for the next two years. They are affiliated with New Tribes Missions in Durham, ON. Steve gave the congregation a real live visual to give them an idea of how many people it takes to have a few “bush missionaries” in place. It takes headquarters personnel, discipleship leaders, pilots, teachers, dorm parents, supply buyers, carpenters, etc. Next, they shared some of their personal testimonies and beliefs of how God has brought them to this point in their lives. In the Sunday evening service Dave and Deb Rodges, missionaries to PNG spoke. Dave and Deb are formerly from the Westfield area and have been involved with mission work for over 17 years. They moved to Papua, New Guinea 15 years ago with their five young daughters. The Rodges had a slide presentation and told about their work including some of the challenges in PNG. Exciting things are happening, and often there are tribes asking for missionaries. Sometimes the tribes have to wait for years until more missionaries are trained. One comment was that “all in all, the mission’s conference was very exciting and encouraging to our congregation.” On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, Caroline McDowell and Lauren Cronin played the organ prelude at Knox United Church. Rev. Pat Cook brought a message entitled Laughter Turns to Joy. The responsive reading was Psalm 100 and the Old Testament reading was Genesis 18: 1-15. Flowers were placed in memory of Dorothy Grange.
