Mrs. Smyth, who is also a native of the township, was formerly Avis Sil- lick, and was born also on the 12th con. of Culross Township, on May 5. 1864, and has resided continuously within the township. Mr. and Mrs. Smyth were married on September 18, 1879. The cere­ mony was performed by Rev. W. W. Sparling, of the Teeswater Methodist Church.
